SSH PUBLIC KEY AUTHENTICATION
Public-key authentication allows you to connect to a remote server without sending your password over the Internet. Public-key authentication uses two keys, a private key that only you have--it should be kept in a secure place and protected with a password. And the public key, which is placed on the server you wish to gain access to, usually by the system administrator when your account is set up.

Syncing Your Data Without MobileMe or iDisk
-
n order to use Dropbox to sync your data, you must switch to the Agile Keychain data format. Our guide provides details on how to switch to the Agile Keychain.
Important: The OS X Keychain stores everything in a single file, making file-based syncing impractical. Do not sync the OS X Keychain using this method.
-
After Dropbox is installed, go to the 1Password > Preferences > Keychain window and click Move. 1Password will ask you for the new location of the keychain. Specify the Dropbox folder (or a subfolder within it):

The Cafes » Verifying SSH Host Fingerprints

But is that really safe? Probably. The actual chance that a man-in-the-middle attack is being attempted is quite small. Even the FBI prefers breaking and entering to implementing a man-in-the-middle attack. Possibly the NSA might try it–I don’t know–but most of the time when I’m warned that a key has changed it’s after the server hardware has been upgraded, the operating system reinstalled, or some other major change made. However, recently I was hit with this message when connecting between two of my own machines on which nothing appeared to have changed, so I decided to be more than usually paranoid and actually verify the communication. That’s when it hit me: how do you do this? Where can you find the remote system’s key to compare it to the one you see on the client?
-
First thing you have to do is login from the system that you’re verifying. You can’t do the check across the network or the potential man in the middle can still fool you. Once you’re on the system, assuming its a Unix system (including Mac OS X) you ssh to the localhost like so:

Some Pretty Revolutionary Stuff - that is really not all that revolutionary...
-
ou need to enable Apple Remote Desktop access in your Sharing Preferences in the system preferences. (Enabling ftp access and Remote login will help you do other things as well.) Please note that this DOES open you up to certain risks - if someone knows you username and password - they can get into your computer. What I've done is to create a special account (under Accounts) for this with limited access - and told Apple Remote Desktop to only allow users to log in under that account.
-
ou need to know your IP address and your computer at home cannot be behind a firewall (or make sure your firewall settings allow you to have certain ports open to use ARD or talk to your IT people and ask them to help you set this up - I'm not going to get into that here - because frankly it's seldom a problem for me and a bit too complicated to get into.) When you try to access your computer at your office - you likely won't be able to get through unless you get the IT people to give open up access to
Apple - Support - Discussions - Syc Documents folder with iDisk?? ...
-
You will have to use a third-party program to do this: FoldersSychronizer is probably your best bet. It can sync to a mounted iDisk manually or on a schedule (though not every time any file is updated, and neither will anything else I know of).
However, be aware that if you do this, any file which gets deleted on your iDisk will be deleted from your Mac as well. You might feel it was better to back up to the iDisk, so that the iDisk will reflect changes on your computer but changes to the iDisk won't be reflected on your computer: it depends on exactly what it is you want to do whether this will work for you. FoldersSynchronizer can do this.
Hide a folder on mac, and Lock a folder on a mac? - Yahoo! Answers
-
he easiest way to hide a folder on a Mac is to rename it so that it starts with a full stop. If you rename it to .Pictures then it will not show up in the Finder anymore.
When you want to access it, go to the folder that your folder is in and go to the "Go" menu and select "Go to folder...". When the dialog box pops up, type in ".Pictures" and you will end up in the invisible folder. -
If your computer only has one login account that everyone shares then you will have to change things a little bit. For this, you will need a password-protected DMG file. This will mean that you will have to type in a password every time you want to access the folder and that you will have to remember to eject the DMG file when you are done access it or anyone else will be able to access it. - 1 more annotations...
Mac Screen sharing is not just for Macs

hat's Mac Screen Sharing connecting to a TightVNC server
on my wife's Windows XP machine (click it for a larger image). I'm looking at QuickBooks and wondering
why I haven't made any money so far this month.. oh, yeah, I've been
goofing off this week - that'll do it!To make that connection from Finder, I just clicked "Go->Connect to Server" and typed in "vnc://10.10.1.2" (that machine's IP address). That's it,
and of course if ports were open, I could have just as easily done
that across the Internet.
Add the Power of Gestures to Your Mouse with FlyGesture [Mac]
-
I also use xGestures. I bought it because I think it is better than FlyGestures and besides the customizability, there is a user interface problem with FlyGestures. It is subtle, but it is related to using a Mac. On the Mac the Menu Bar at the top is an ‘infinite’ distance away (see Bruce Tognazzini’s site at http:.//www.asktog.com ) so you can really fling the mouse up there without any fine motor control.
I found FlyGesture’s gesturing unusable because the edges dont work this way. You have to be very careful about hitting all the circles in the right order or the gesture doesnt trigger.
The plug-in for Quicksilver was even better than xGestures because it supports diagonal lines but I resisted the temptation of using it without knowing if QS would be around.
