I was wondering if it was possible to connect to my mac that I use at work (192.168.10.XX) from my pc at home using SSH. Or any other way for that matter?

I know I could use services like logmein, but I would like to be able to do some with SSH.

Thanks
 
why ssh?

mac has vnc built in, this will require that port open though and a ddns or static ip to connect.


teamviewer really is the best or even google remote desktop which is free

unless you have a vpn etc this is your easiest option. ask IT for sslvp if it is available on your firewall
 
Who controls the network at work. If you do then it is as simple as setting up the port mapping to make ssh work ....not sure why though.

If you do not control the network then unless the person that does allows you to the short answer is you can't do it.
