ShareTool – Better, more accessible, than Back To My Mac

New improvements within Yazsoft’s Share Tool software means you can enjoy all the benefits of your home network wherever you are, including screen, iTunes and document sharing.

Announced today and available for Macs running Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, ShareTool lets users access their Bonjour services from anywhere securely using 100% SSH encryption. The software support extends to iTunes Music Sharing, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, printing, and much more. 

Your home or office network already supports file sharing between Macs, iPhoto and iTunes sharing and more. ShareTool simplifies the process of extending that network securely using the ‘Net: You can listen to your entire iTunes music library at work, control the screen of any of your home computers, or grab that important file.

The software automatically configures routers supporting NAT-PMP or UPnP. Remote services automatically appear in Finder, iTunes, and other applications while ShareTool enables remote access for any application or service that advertises itself using Bonjour and runs over TCP/IP.

Access to your services requires your Mac OS X username and password. A single license costs $20, a demo version is available.
