How to select non-contiguous files on a Mac?

Question

How can I select non-contiguous files on a Mac? On Windows I would use Ctrl + click, but Finder considers this to be a right click.

Use ⌘-click (command-click). Most shortcuts in Windows that use CTRL use ⌘ in OS X.

I had same question but we were remote controlling a Mac OSX through VNC with a Windows keyboard so there was no Apple key and the Win key did not work.

However the Alt key on my windows keyboard worked.

The command/Apple/flower key does pretty much the same thing in MacOS that the Ctrl key does in Windows.
