Use Connect to Server to connect to anywhere
This works for "ftp://" servers as well.
Am I right in thinking that I can't really use this hint if my home Macs connect to my ISP using DHCP, so my home IP address isn't static? (Plus there an Airport Extreme with NAT turned on, and no ports are forwarded to any of my Macs.) On the plus side, I think this makes me a bit more secure. This will motivate me to disable the root user when I'm not actually using it! I suppose I could always write a Mail.app rule and an AppleScript to email me the current home IP address.

Use Connect to Server to connect to anywhere
I have a dynamic IP, but my ISP gives me a static text URL that I can always use to connect to the computer. (I don't know if every ISP does this.) You can find this URL in one of the sharing panes in Sys Prefs, near where you can find your IP address. |
