This means that you can not accidentally lock yourself out during firewall changes, as long as you have safe mode on. If you press safe mode, and loose the connection to the device, it will drop all your changes since you pressed safe mode and ensure you have access again. Winbox also have undo/redo buttons and a very convenient safe mode button. If you are 2 persons logged into the same MikroTik unit from separate computers, any changes done from the other client, will live change in your Winbox interface. Winbox have the menus in nearly the same "paths" as ssh/terminal, so if you read a script, you will in most situations find the same menus in the same nested hierarchy in Winbox. Also for a Mac it is always smart to move them outside of the virtual file system, so you preserve them, if you should choose to download a new Winbox version.
By moving them to a shared/synced folder, you can share session files between several installations or even between different users. With the top menu bar item Tools ⇢ Move Sessions Folder., you can relocate the path where Winbox stores these small session files. Sessions are stored per IP/MAC, so you will connect to different sessions, if you connect to the same router using different IPs/MAC. are all preserved until next time you connect. This means that the next time you connect to the router with Winbox, the size and placement of the windows, the columns you have chosen to show for each window etc. Winbox stores all sessions on your client in one session file per router connection. Off course it's much easier always to use Check for updates instead, as this preserves the address list.
If you overwrite your old Mac app without doing this, you will loose your routerlist. Import and export with Winbox ⇢ Tools ⇢ Export/Import.

After your first install, use Winbox ⇢ Tools ⇢ Check For Updates to upgrade to new versions. when I'm in a board configuring or troubleshooting.You only need to download Winbox once. In that case, I'll just create a Boot Camp partition and install Windows, but I just hate to install Windows on my machine for one simple app, not to mention I won't have access to my E-mail, preferred web browser, Skype, etc. I don't want to have to hack my machine to pieces to get Winbox working in OS X.

Winbox Mikrotik Mac Os XĪnyone have any suggestions or links to How-To's that get Winbox working on Snow Leopard (as close to natively as possible). X11 does not open like it does on the Leopard machine and even if I open X11 manually and then run the app, I still never see the Connect window. When I click on the Winbox app the icon pops up on the dock and the Menu Bar gives me the same Wine options as when I run it on the Leopard machine, but the Connect window never appears. The Snow Leopard machine did not have X11 on it at first so I put in my Install DVD and loaded X11. I did not actually connect to a RouterBOARD to test full functionality, but I'm just trying to get my MacBook running Snow Leopard to that point. X11 automatically opened as well when I clicked to open the app and came up to the Connect window. X11 is installed on the iMac running Leopard and I downloaded the pre-packaged Winebox version of the Winbox app from the Wiki and it worked. I have a MacBook Pro (the new 13-inch model that just came out, unibody 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) which is running Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6.3) and an older iMac (White 17' Intel Core Duo) running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.
