I’m using Sequel Pro, formerly CocoaMySQL, to connect to databases on my Bluehost account. Here’s what I did.

To pull all the info together, I had to add my IP to:
Cpanel > Databases > RemoteMySql

When you launch that function in Bluehost’s Cpanel, it’ll list your IP address for you, so you just hit the Add button.

Then in Sequel Pro:
Host: your domain name w/o the http://www
Port: 3306

Add in the database name, username, and password and you’re good. Remember that your username is the first 8 letters of your primary domain, followed by an underscore and the actual username. Such as http://domainname.com would be domainam_username.

Hope this helps.

Disclaimer: this works for me, but I can’t promise it’ll work for you. The steps I’m showing are exactly what I did to get it to work.

The first thing I did was discover my home IP address. The quick and dirty way to do this is to just go to a site like this: http://whatismyipaddress.com/. Right at the top it shows your IP address.

Disclaimer Two: If you have Comcast Cable internet or similar, it’s possible that you do not have a static IP address. This means that occasionally, it could change. If it does, you’ll need to re-acquire your IP address this same way every once in a while. OR, you could use a DNS forwarding service like this: http://www.dyndns.com/. At the moment, I’m not worrying about it.

Next, go to your office. Open Finder (sorry, this is mac advice only) and press CMD+K. Enter afp://your.ip.address.

From there, you’ll get a login window with a username and password. You can leave the username to be whatever, and just enter the admin password for your Time Capsule. Hit enter, and your remote time capsule will be mounted and in your finder. So. Awesome.

I added mine to my Favorite servers, so I can quickly pull it up again later if it becomes un-mounted.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t do anything when the link is already within Safari. Anytime a website tells the browser to open a new page, Safari’s default is to open a new window, NOT a new tab. For me, tabbed browsing is powerful because I DO NOT WANT multiple windows, just tabs, but soon, I start getting multiple windows with multiple tabs, and then I’m pissed.

Here is a quick way to make sure all new links open in a new tab (tutorial via switchingtomac.com):

Regardless, it’s annoying to me and is possible to turn off. Here are directions borrowed from this site posting the original info.

You can stop the messages by typing:

$optout

Then it will respond with:

OPERATOR: Are you sure you want to opt-out? If you do, you will *never* be contacted again on the account “”. There is *no way* to opt back in and undo this.
If you are sure, type “$optout DADD”. Remember, this is permanent and irreversible!

Type what it asks:

$optout DADD

And you will recieve one final (hopefully) message:

OPERATOR: You have opted out. The account “” will *never* be contacted again. Good bye!

Hope this helps some of you.

Here’s how:
First, open Terminal or PUTTY or whatever you use. Navigate to the folder where you want the download to go to, then type this:

rsync -vraze ssh [username]@[host]:[path to files]
Remove all brackets, as they are only there to show placeholders.

an example would look like this;

rsync -vraze ssh jason@getbetterat.com:/path/to/files/* .
