If you’re reading this blog, you probably have a Mac server setup somewhere that requires your attention occasionally. For those of you with an iPhone, I hope to help you out.
Over on the Macminicolo.net site, I’ve put together a list of seven iPhone applications that I use every day to work with the Mac servers and IT work in general. You can read it here.
We try to help the common man set up a Mac server. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When I travel with my Mac, I’m continually connecting to different wifi hot spots to check back on the data center and work with any support emails. As you can imagine, doing these two things, I’ve tried to be very careful not to use terribly private passwords and URL’s. You just never know if you can trust the network you’re using.
A couple months ago, I set up an SSH tunnel using these instructions. This allows for me to send all traffic encrypted to my Mac mini in the data center. This keeps things safe.
If you find yourself traveling often, perhaps this will be of use to you as well.

Ajaxterm is a web based terminal. It is incredibly easy to install it’s great to have in a bind.
For instance, if you were to lock yourself out of your server, you could re-enable screen sharing with this terminal. It’s also useful for when you don’t have a computer near that has a Terminal application but you need to do some quick work on your server.
AjaxTerm is free and can be downloade here.
(Thanks Nicholas for the heads up.)
