Admin Connect
Connect is the app you will use to initiate connections to your clients’ computers. It can and should be copied to somewhere on your hard drive – wherever you would like to keep it.
If you click the links in the web admin, BlueSky Connect is opened but potentially has all the information it needs to connect. One piece that might be missing is the user name on the target computer – if you left that field blank in web admin, Connect will ask you for it.
You also have the option of opening BlueSky Admin Connect manually and entering the relevant info. It will ask first for the BlueSky ID of the computer to which you want to connect.
Then it will ask which service that you want to use.
Then finally it asks for the user name:
If this is the first connection after setup, the Mac will ask you for the password to unlock the key you created during setup. This is your chance to type that really awesome password once more, and this time, tick the box to save it in the Login Keychain.
Then it opens a Terminal window and establishes the connection. When the Terminal window asks for a password, it is the password of the user name that you entered previously.
VNC requires that the SSH tunnel be established first. If you have SSH already but did not select VNC, you can run Connect again and it will see the already in-place SSH tunnel. Again, use the credentials of the user on the remote computer.
For file transfers, Admin Connect will establish a connection in Terminal, but this time it will let you specify a file or folder that you want to upload via the BlueSky connection to the client computer.
After you enter the ID and remote authentication, you’ll be asked to select the file/folder to transfer and then a Terminal window will open to let you enter the password and show the transfer progress. The window will close when the transfer succeeds.
If you prefer drag-and-drop you can do that with Apple's ScreenSharing client.
BlueSky always puts your copied item in /tmp on the target computer. Ideally you would then SSH in and move the files wherever you needed them to actually be. For example, if you had a pkg to install, you could use file transfer to get it on to the computer. Then use secure shell and run installer -pkg /tmp/install.pkg -target / to get it deployed.
