Hi
Due to impending “lockdown” situations I have users asking me how they can work
from home. I was wondering what solutions others were finding worked well.
The service provider that many of the key users have at home (Talk-Talk in the
UK) blanket blocks all screen sharing software so will pr
Well, the problematic point here is „MACS“
Complete lack of a remote terminal solution for Macs is the primary reason why
most businesses have switched to Windows in the last 8-10 years.

Sorry, but that´s just fake news.

Hi,
Few things here.
1. Apple native remote client ("Apple Remote Desktop" ARD) is very good. We use
it remotely connect to machines and servers over a VPN.
The key thing is to have a VPN setup to secure your traffic.
You can also use VNC protocol.
So one remote client (home/Mac) === vp

Hi Peter,
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish A few scenarios I have
done for a few clients...
1) If it's just 4D server they need access to then just port forward the
19812-19814 on the router to the 4D server machine and then install 4D
client (Mac or windows) on the employees
1997 called and want their Slam-The-Mac back. :-)

It’s not about slamming the mac, i work with a Mac since they exist (1984) and
absolutely love my MacBook Pro, although I do have grievances concerning the
ludicrous pricing policy (come on, I am willing to pay a premium, but 450% of
market price for SSD or RAM?).
I just stated why Apple lost t

The solution I have been using to work at home is a Mac App called VPN Tracer
365, but it is not so great on speed for intensive data access, so I also use
the built-in screen sharing in the Mac OS to connect to desktops, and our
headless server machine - any machine that allows it. There are so
Correction: I guess it is an app you download, Chrome Remote Desktop, I have
never used it myself.

I remember connecting a terminal to the serial port on Apple's Lisa, and
running a second user. We must have installed Unix or Xenix at the time.
Aren't "terminal services" already a part of Unix (or macOS)? I put that in
quotes because, apart form being a terminal services user on occasion,

I'm sure there are more elegant solutions, but here is what we are doing.
Our office has a mix of Windows and Macs. We use 4D, Quickbooks
Enterprise, and Google for essentially everything.
We have installed Google Remote Desktop on every office machine.
People are working from home using their
In my experience, what you describe is the ideal situation, where you have an
office workstation to which you connect via some kind of screen sharing app on
your remote machine. You get the full horsepower of your office workstation and
all the remote machine has to do is screenshare.

we wrote a library way back in the day that used 4d draw, i think, but
using a font was always less hassle and faster.
building your own barcodes is like writing EPS or PDF or PCL from scratch.
You can do it, but if you don't have to, maybe you shouldn't.

or you can do this a different way - using a mail relay. that way your 4d
app doesn't have to be changed. the relay accepts your smtp and then
relays the message to google.

Hi All,
Never mind - unless you found something a bit easier…
I found an older JPR example (I think) and it was really easy!
Just change the code to something like this:

Seems stable.

When I need to work from home, I connect my iMac to a PC at work using
Splashtop.
It's just like sitting at the desk at work and it works great!
