Sharing
Mac OS X is an upstanding network citizen, flexible enough to share its contents with other Macs, Windows PCs, people dialing in from the road, people dialing in from the Internet, and so on. On this totally overhauled panel, you'll find on/off switches for each of these sharing channels. In this book, many of these features are covered in other chapters:
Screen Sharing, File Sharing. Chapter 13.
Printer Sharing. Chapter 14.
Web Sharing. Chapter 22.
Remote Login. Chapter 22.
Remote Management. Lets someone else control your Mac using Apple Remote Desktop, a popular add-on program for teachers.
Remote Apple Events. Lets Apple Script gurus (Chapter 7) send commands to Macs across the network.
Xgrid Sharing. Xgrid is powerful software that lets you divide up a complex computational task—like computer animation or huge scientific calculations— among a whole bunch of Macs on your network, so that they automatically work on the problem when they're otherwise sitting idle. If you're intrigued, visit http://developer.apple.com/hardware/hpc/xgrid_intro.html.
Internet Sharing. Chapter 18.
Bluetooth Sharing. This pane lets you set up Bluetooth file sharing, a way for other people near you to shoot files over to (or receive files from) your laptop—without muss, fuss, or passwords. Sending a file has the details.
