Remote Desktop on Panther MAC OS


Use Remote Desktop in Mac OS Panther

1. Ensure that you have a working network and that all computers are turned on.

2. Check that you have the most current version of "Remote Desktop" components installed. You will install the "Client" package on to the networked computers and the "Admin" package on your computer.



3. Open "System Preferences" on the administrator's Mac, and click on the "Sharing" icon (third icon group, under "Internet & Network").

4. Highlight the first (left-most) tab, "Services," and check the box next to "Remote Desktop" (third item from the bottom of the list).

5. Highlight the second (middle) tab in the "Sharing" window, "Firewall," and confirm that "Remote Desktop" is activated in the list window. Its activation will not be affected by the "Firewall" status and will work whether the "Firewall" is on or off.

6. Install the "Remote Desktop" application, or locate the installed copy on your Mac in the "Applications" folder.

7. Take a moment to study the layout of the application. You will have many options, including such key features as remote spotlight searches, use of dashboard widget(s), custom "Automator" actions, "Auto Install," a secure "Curtain" mode, full supported remote drag-and-drop, system "Status Indicators," users' application "Usage Reports" and "History Reports," smart "Computer Lists" and customizable "Task Templates."
