MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing

MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing Need to enable your remote disc, yet you have cd / dvd sharing enabled and it does not show up. Well with a nice terminal command we can do just that and enable Remote Disc on MAC OS X.

Terminal Commands:

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true

Terminal Tip: Download Files CURL 

In this tutorial I will show you how to use Terminal to download files using the command [curl], also please note that I will also use [-LO] just after curl.  Here is what -L does: -L follow link even is a redirect has been put in place.  Here is what -O does: Tells curl to keep original file name from the server when it is download.

If you would like to specify a location for your file to be downloaded to rather then have it saved to the user account folder then simply do this first in terminal.

cd /Desktop   So this way  [cd] means  Create Directory and  [/Desktop] is where we want the file to be saved to once it is downloaded.

Example 1:  curl -LO http://www.Site Name/file.zip

Example 2:  cd ~/Desktop [hit return]  then type  curl -LO http://www.Site Name/file.zip

Update iWeb Via SSH using RSYNC in Terminal In this tutorial I will show you how to use Terminal in MAC OS X to upload & update your iWeb Site via SSH using RSYNC in Terminal. This will save you lots of time in having to re-upload your entire site especially when you use you own host rather then a DOTMAC account to host you own iWeb Sites. Since many host will allow Syncing via FTP that is great but with iWeb when you publish your site to a folder then upload it to your site, then the problem comes up where all the dates have changed. Even though you may have only changed a file or two. Thus forcing you to have to upload everything again unless you know exactly what to upload your self. So by using the RSYNC in Terminal it will do all the dirty work for you.

Terminal Command Needed:

rsync -avz Sites/mysite/ username@webhost.com:webroot/

I will update this post at a later date with a larger preview of the video for download.
