Desktop Transporter 2.5 adds bookmarks
DEVONtechnologies has released Desktop Transporter 2.5, its remote desktop solution, with a number of new features that have been frequently requested by the users. Bookmarks make it easy to connect to remote Macs that are not located on the local area network and available via Bonjour. Sleeping Macs can even be woken up over the network or over the Internet as long as they are physically connected to the local network. The new edition also gives you the ability to scale the thumbnail pictures in the Bonjour browser for a better overview.
Desktop Transporter 2.5 also makes sharing desktops over the Internet easier. It fully supports NAT-PMP for automatically configuring the necessary port forwarding. Port forwarding creates an outside connection that the external Mac uses to get access to the to-be-controlled Mac inside the network. NAT-PMP is currently available in all Apple Airport base stations as well as in a number of other routers.
Finally, version 2.5 allows sharing desktops right away at boot time or when users log in, and it fixes a common problem with Parallels Desktop 3.0 and the additional virtual network connections it installs.
Desktop Transporter 2.5 requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 later and a fast LAN and/or Internet connection is strongly recommended. It is immediately available as a free download that must be purchased after the evaluation period of four weeks is over; the update is free for all registered users. Desktop Transporter sells for USD$29.95 in DEVONtechnologies’ online shop. Students and educators discounts are available.
