Hi Techies! Does anybody know about an equivalent to NetMeeting that I can use on my mac? That is compatible with NetMeeting? And is, preferably, free?

In my brief, lazy search all I could find were apps that seemed designed for video conferencing. I don't really need that. I just need to be able to see what somebody is doing on their computer. While they are at my office and I am at home.

Thanks!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I only have personal experience with one of the pay programs - Timbuktu. But this page indicates there are some shareware alternatives:

Thanks. My boss and I decided to send our assistant to the meeting to torture her instead.

Okay Techistas,

Does anybody know of a freeware FTP program for Mac OSX? I need to check the FTP procedures for my office, and I need a program that can help me do that.

Anybody?

Which version of OSX are you running? FTP is built into Tiger (under Go-->Server, you can enter an ftp address).

The program I love isn't free, but it's cheap, and worth it.

It's called Fetch. I've been using it for years and love it.

Urgh. I don't know which version. How do I check?

Under the Apple menu, "About This Mac."

Cyberduck is free, but I'm not a huge fan of the interface. CaptainFTP has a 30-day free trial version, but I agree with ND that Fetch is the way to go if you end up paying for anything.

Of course, I was looking in the wrong place. I'm using version 10.3.9. How does that translate into big cat breeds?

You have panther. You can also FTP from panther.
