ShareTool Allows You to Access your Bonjour Services Anywhere

Yazsoft released a new application called ShareTool designed to let you access all of your home or office Bonjour services from anywhere in the world without needing to have server or technical skills. The company says the app includes iTunes Music Sharing, Screen Sharing, File Sharing and printing plus other useful features. Moreover, as it uses Bonjour, no network configuration is required. ShareTool is developed for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and also supports the VPN. As novelty, version 1.2.2 brings a new interface design, the inclusion of remote printing and a built-in help menu.

PrMac came up wit a scenario to better understand what this app can actually do for you:

Scenario: You've just purchased a brand new iMac and MacBook and are simply loving it. You've set up your home or office network exactly the way you want it. You have file sharing between the two machines and can transfer your documents easily between them; you can listen to your iMac's iTunes Library from the MacBook and view your MacBook's iPhoto Library from your iMac. Everything on your network works exactly as you want it to and life is beautiful.

What happens when you have to leave (i.e. work or travel) the comfort of your new custom configured network? Wouldn't it be nice to know that with one mouse click you will be able to access almost everything you've just setup from anywhere in the world securely? Before ShareTool, this was simply not possible without an extremely (if at all possible) complicated setup even for those in the know. Not anymore! With ShareTool, that complex procedure is reduced to a simple mouse click and as a result, yes, you can be at two places at the same time!

Some Key New Features in ShareTool:

  • Simple Setup: ShareTool automatically configures routers supporting NAT-PMP or UPnP

  • Secure web browsing: surf the internet using your own browser securely
  • and much more
