Turn on Back To My Mac via a Script or Command Line [duplicate]
Solution 1:
There is no supported way to do this. Having said that, you can do it using scutil
:
louis@Arios:~$ sudo scutil
> set Setup:/Network/BackToMyMac
> d.add <YYY> <XXX>.members.btmm.icloud.com
> set Setup:/Network/BackToMyMac
> quit
louis@Arios:~$
Replacing <YYY>
with the UID of the user account on the system (for most people with single account that is 501), and <XXX>
with your iCloud account number. If you don't know that you can check your dns-sd registrations:
louis@Arios:~$ dns-sd -E
Looking for recommended registration domains:
DATE: ---Wed 22 Aug 2012---
9:11:04.789 ...STARTING...
Timestamp Recommended Registration domain
9:11:04.789 Added (More) local
9:11:04.789 Added icloud.com
- > btmm
- - > members
- - - > <XXX>
The last line will list your iCloud user number. I think they are all 8 digit numbers, at least mine is.
