For everyone asking… no script editing or third party software is needed to accomplish this in iChat 5 on Snow Leopard. It is already there.

The safest way to use this ability is to make the alert apply only when requested from a specific screenname you choose. To do this:

1) In your buddy list, right click the screenname you want to be able to control your screen.

2) Select “Show Info”

3) Click on “Alerts”

5) Choose “Invitation to Share My Screen” from the “Event” drop down

6) Check the box next to “Run an AppleScript script” and choose “Auto Accept.applescript” from the drop down

That’s it. Now when that specific screenname requests to share your
screen it will automatically be accepted

Safe and easy. Hope this helps some of you…

I would like to start off by saying, thank you for supplying me with the information I’ve been searching for. I have been searching the internet for three hours looking for it and would have given my right arm if I would have found your website sooner. Not only did I locate what I was looking for, but also found answers to questions I never thought to ask myself. Thank you for such a wonderful web-site!

The easiest and most secure option I have found is using chax (http://ksuther.com/chax/), the cool add-on for iChat. It allows you to setup auto-accept for each account/friend for text chat, file transfers, audio/video chat, and screen sharing. Install Chax and go to Preferences->Chax->Auto-Accept. No AppleScript required.
