Now there are way to forward ports on your Router to access it remotely, & things like DynDNS & no-ip.com to update your outside IP to the remote Mac.

Dec 29, 2012 1:49 AM in response to BDAquaby da_vide78,So i don't want to use a cloud solution.
When at home, i can access all files from every laptop/desktop in the house because they're all mac products and they see each other but I've centralised them on the Mac Mini Server.
BUT, rather than use a cloud (and the problem with iCloud is that it will only store documents that are created in iWork not Microsoft for Mac - already looked into that one!) I want to be able to use my server as the 'cloud'.
So i guess the port forwarding router solution is the way i need to go.
So, if anyone can help with that i would be hugely appreciative.

If it were just me using the server it would be perfect as it would just be one itunes/iCloud login. However, there are more than one user who needs access to the server.

If you find that too inconvenient, consider something like this: Slinkware
