Apple Remote Access


What can I do with Apple Remote Access?

If you have a modem, you can use Apple Remote Access to connect to another computer on an AppleTalk network. Once you've connected to that computer, you can use any network devices connected to it as well.

For example, you could connect to your computer at work, copy a file from it to your computer at home, make changes to it, and then print the file on your LaserWriter at work. If your office network is connected to the Internet, you can connect to the Internet from home by connecting to your office network with ARA.

The Apple Remote Access software included with the Mac OS is client software. You use the client software to connect to other computers. However, the computer you're connecting to needs to have ARA server software installed. Once you're connected, you then have access to any computer on the server's network. You can obtain the server software from any Apple-authorized dealer.
