10.5: How to use ssh using 'Back to My Mac'

Turns out it is even easier! :P

just open the Terminal go to Shell > New Remote Connection...

then choose ssh and there you have your BackToMyMac Computer listed (if the OS sees it).

type in your username and click connect.

voila, you can even see the connection string used. And you can also use ftp/sftp... from this dialog to your remote Mac.

Way easier than typing in some shell command like suggested in the original tip.
