Setting Up Sharing in Mac OS X Leopard

Video Transcript

My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'll be showing you some of the new features on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Finally, for my favorite new feature, that would be screen sharing. Essentially it's remote desktop, but boiled down to a much simpler interface. It also saves you 300 bucks over buying a remote desktop, which is always nice. First thing you have to do is turn it on, so we're going to go to system preferences. Click on that. It's under internet and network, under sharing right here. It's where file sharing has always been on the Macs. I would click on screen sharing here, but I've got my screen sharing turned on under remote management. When I click on it I'm going to get this warning: screen sharing is being controlled by the remote management service. So what you do is you would click this on, ok your file sharing. You would say who can and can't use it. I've got mine set up so unknown users can only read. Everyone can only read. I can read and write, obviously. Printer sharing, I'm going to turn that on real quick. Web sharing. Say you want other people to be able to view web pages of the sites folder to this computer. I have no use for that, so I'm going to turn it off. Remote login which is nice. I can use SSH logins and get to my computer from anywhere else. I have an SSH terminal. Remote management. Remote Apple events, this turns Apple events on. So I can send Apple events to this computer from other locations. Xgrid sharing which I don't have a use for, so I have it turned off. Internet sharing which allows another computer to, either over Ethernet or firewire or even Bluetooth if you go to Bluetooth sharing, actually piggyback on top of your internet connection. So, for example, if I wanted to use my iPhone to pick up the WiFi signal from my Macbook over Bluetooth I could do that. It's overly complicated and kind of useless. But if you had two people who were sharing a connection, it's kind of nice. If one person has a data card and the other person doesn't and you're working within a few feet of each other, you can piggyback a data card which is kind of cool. And Bluetooth sharing tells you all what to do, so it's all set up on this one. I'm going to go ahead and close it and the next clip I'll actually show you how it works.
