Firewall and ports etc.



All,

OK, can I make any changes to the source code and tell it to use specific
ports, or somehow limit the range of ports it is allowed to use ?

hi,

as far as i know, Hylfaxa uses a FTP-Protokol for transfering data to
the server. The ports 4558 and 4559 are only used for the
control-connection to the server, data is transfered over an randomly
chosen TCP-Port between client and server.
And that transfer is initiated from the server side...
==> big problem with firewall.
