Your MBP have an Ethernet connexion to plug it to any network. To connect through a telephone line you need a USB modem.

Fetch. Only $25.

Also, if you’re traveling a lot, consider an express card for your laptop. I have one from Sprint that is about half the speed of my cable modem.

Cyberduck is free and so is FileZilla.

My wife uses Cyberduck and it’s free. https://cyberduck.ch/

I recently started using the Sprint/Nextel cellular broadband service to access my TV station while on the road. In some places I get 1.4 Mbps down and 800 kbps up. We are using iChat for videoconferencing and file transfers (video) from remote locations. The new Back to My Mac feature works like a charm to access my computers at home and work. Chicken of the VNC allows us access master control computers to make changes or fix playback problems. I have been very pleased with the Sierra Wireless Aircards.

I’m interested to learn what format/codec everyone on this post is using. And what can your Master Controls ingest easily?

Next weekend our local sports reported is going to the NAIA Championship game following the Carroll College Fighting Saints, and we want to send him with a powerbook for editing. I was planning on getting the files as H.264, but perhaps you guys have a better idea. I will need to download the clips and lay them out to MiniDV tape, since, well, it’s still 1993 here in Montana. Any suggestions are most appreciated. And sorry, I didn’t mean to divert the conversation, either, so here’s my 2

hello
ive used filezilla as an ftp client on pc’s for years, and now its on mac too, and its free and easy…
find it at https://filezilla-project.org/download.php
ive always found if i have internet access, i have ftp access too… so that shouldnt be a problem in most hotels

Filezilla is one of the best FTP clients ever. Auto resume, multiple upload streams, many other great features. However, to do FTP on a Mac doesn’t require anything beyond the operating system. In the Finder, just pull down “Go->Connect to Server” (or type command-K). Type in the UNC of the server (“ftp://ftp.server.com”). It will then ask for user name and password, and if successful, the FTP site will open up as another Finder window. The only hitch in doing this is that there isn’t any easy way to select Active mode for file transfers with servers that require it (some Windows servers are set up that way). Since OS X is basically a Unix system, you can, of course, also just open a Terminal window and use command line FTP.

And, just FYI: the above methods also work in Windows. Just type in an FTP address in any window and away you go.

But, as I said, Filezilla is awesome..
