I'm having a problem with my G4 tower running OS X 10.2.8. For no
discernible reason file sharing tends to turn itself off at random
intervals. This made it impossible to access files on the machine from
remote locations.
Since this started I've learned to use SSH, which gives me access to
the files and also enables running applications. This gives me a
workaround but is not nearly as convenient as file sharing. I'm
wondering if there might be a way to use SSH and a script to get file
sharing up and running again. I've already tried using SSH to fire up
AppleFileServer. This works but still doesn't restore file sharing
functionality. There must be some other step I don't know about.
When I bring up the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the machine
after starting up AppleFileServer remotely I see that the checkbox next
to Personal File Sharing is checked but the text by the button says
file sharing is off. If I select any of the other services in the list
and then Personal File Sharing, file sharing starts up again.
Has anyone got a suggestion as to how I might accomplish the same thing
remotely?
