Use AppleScript and Mail for remote control and file access
If yours is like most companies, it provides access to at least *some* outbound ports directly (not via proxy). It might be easier, and would definitely be more secure to run an
sshd server on another port.
The file /etc/sshd_config has a line near the top commented out (it's the default) that should read #Port 22. You can sudo vi /etc/sshd_config, remove the "#", change the port to something that you know can be reached through your firewalls and either "HUP sshd" or go to System Preferences->Sharing and disable/re-enable "Remote login".You may need to modify your own firewall (hardware or Mac OS X) to make this work completely, but it will probably give you the kind of access you really want vs. AppleScript/Mail commands. (one last thing...if you open up ssh to the whole world and don't limit logins to certificates only, you're just asking to be hacked)

try port 443
That is the https port. If you are not running an HTTPS server on your mac and it is a simple proxy/firewall at work, that should get you through to your mac at home. If work has a layer-7 firewall or your run an HTTPS server try tunneling ssh over https. Here is a decent explanation:
How?
Do you know how to find out which ports are open?
How?
Well, there are a few port scanners out there for all OSes that would give you an idea, but if your employer has IDS systems in place, you might get a huge slap on the wrist (or worse) for using them. |
