Mac Forum / General / Networking / December 2005Home network and file sharing
I am installing a small wireless network, 2 or 3 machines behind a high speed modem and a routeur. My problem is that I sometimes (rarely) put a file, too big for mail, into my Public box for a friend to pick it up. In that case I gave my URL of the day and all went well. How should I do in the future, when the only URL will be that of the routeur ? I have read somewhere that one would have to resort to ssh for this. Are there other solutions and where to find indications or tutorial for ssh or alternatives ?

Well that would solve the dynamic address problem but as said, I only share files once in a blue moon and simply mail the address of the day, making sure not to disconnect during that day. However my main problem is to allow access to the machines *behind* the router. These have no URL accessible to the outside.

FTP, SFTP, HTTP, or whatever.....

FTP, SFTP, HTTP, or whatever..... Yes, looking at my new toy manual I had an inkling that the solution would involve port forwarding, which this router allows. In the case of simple file sharing (Appleshare IP) when directly connected the OSX firewall (which is not activated) seems to indicate that ports 548 and 427 are used. Do you know whether these are the 2 ports to forward, and to which router ports? Hope I am not abusing with you time.

Thanks anyway > HC Since I haven't really worried about using Appleshar IP, I wouldn't know which Ports are required. I would be very carefull, about opening ANY Ports thru my firewall on any permenent basis. It is an invitation for BAD things to happen. when I do open FTP Ports on my router, I ALWAYs put a filter on that allows only specific IP Addresses to come thru. this is a bitaggresive, but hey, it is my network, and I get to chose who is using it.

I was confirmed on an other thread that 548 is the one, as can be seen in the Apple firewall that quotes what is opened in the case of file sharing. > I would be very carefull, about opening > ANY Ports thru my firewall on any permenent basis.

I will do the same and cancel the forwarding. > When I do open FTP Ports on my router, I > ALWAYs put a filter on that allows only specific IP Addresses to come > thru. Good idea, however all my contacts are like me: dynamic address and not enough need to use a relay to simulate a permanent one. HC |
