I am looking to help on how to access my Mac(s) over the internet from anywhere other than home.
Scenario:
(caveat empter: the names of IPs and computers have been changed to protect the innocent...)
* HomeServer is connected to HomeRouter and has a fixed IP address of 192.x.y.z.
* HomeRouter has a public IP address of a.b.c.d. I have full access/control of this device. I have assigned an IPPassthorugh for HomeServer on its fixed IP address. I have also opened up the following ports:
+ 32400 (for Plex Media Server)
+ 22 (SSH Server)
+ 5900, 5800, 5500 (VNC)
DesktopComputer is also connected to HomeRouter and has an address of 192.e.f.g.
Using Finder (Command+K) I can connect to HomeServer from "anywhere_I want" on MyTravelingLaptop, using the address "afp://user@a.b.c.d". Upon entering the password for "user", I can see the shares on HomeServer. But I want to connect to DesktopComputer as well.
What do I need to do to connect (via Finder) to DesktopComputer from MyTravelingLaptop? Since the purpose is to access folder systems on these computers (vice screen sharing), could/should I have HomeServer mount a volume share for each computer I wish to access? (If so, I need help on that since I tried and failed doing just that...)
I can already manage my network using RealVNC but this only applies to computers with VNCServer installed. Only select computers have this installed and it does not give me Finder-level access to said computers.
TIA
