RMG137-Personal File Sharing
Thanks to Austin Michael Internet Solutions for their sponsorship of Radio MacGuys.
More news on the VPN issue with Tiger. We mentioned a few days ago that the Cisco VPN client didn't work under Tiger. Yesterday eWeek reported that several VPN clients are broken under Tiger.
Todays question is about file sharing. A listener asks why he can't share external hard drives on his local network. The reason is that for (and this is a guess) security reasons, Apple does not support personal file sharing except for the contents of the public folder in your directory. One good way to get around this restriction is to use SharePoints, a very sweet little piece of "donationware" that brings back the ability to share files and devices just like we did prior to MacOS X.
Apple announced some new iMacs today. The new machines are faster, have more memory, a dual layer Superdrive (on models with a Superdrive), built in Airport Extreme and built-in Bluetooth.
Our GarageBand song of the day is from The Trisonics, an interesting band from Munich in Germany.
