HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: For testing purpose (HFS including SSl tools)

Thanks.
I'm glad you've done all this work to provide a small, (relatively) easy to use, encrypted SSL server.

Thanks,
I don't know if this was the answer in your links, I'll read them. I kept working and sort of figured it out on my own. I tested both the nonSSL and the SSL builds of hfs. I first found that I had set up my router not to accept external Internet pinging to my WAN IP. Then I set up two port forwarding rules: one for the nonSSL on port 8080 and a separate one for the SSL build using port 443.
I found that I could not have them both enabled at the same time. It appeared that I could be using either the SSL or the nonSSL version, but not both at the same time. Still, the SSL version would not connect on my WAN IP until I also created a virtual server directing all external traffic on port 8080 to my private port 443. Once I did that the SSL version worked beautifully and I was able to check with remote users across the Internet and not just my LAN computers. Sometimes when you keep trying you just get stuff to work; but thanks.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: For testing purpose (HFS including SSl tools)

I just downloaded and ran this and the self-test button is grayed out.

That was going to be my next question.

I have gotten it to connect nicely and check it from other computers on my LAN.

I am forwarding SSL port.

If I want to limit connections to a single port instead of accepting on any port, does that make a difference in whether the remote users will be logged in under SSL?

So far I have not been able to have a friend connect from outside my network from the Internet.

I found my external IP address and used that when setting up the port forwarding for hfs SSL.

I was hoping to do a self-test to figure out my necessary settings, but that doesn't work yet for me.

Any advice?

Thanks. Very nice. The only problem I have run into is that regardless of selecting English as the language, if a remote user logs in through their browser the entire interface is in French.

router & port problems / HFS does not work through router

« on: September 15, 2011, 04:58:57 PM »

I've tried every explanation I can find. Started with portforwarding.com; but it's explanations totally don't work for me. I have a Motorola Netopia 3347-02. No luck setting a static IP. I downloaded NO-IP, but I can't figure out how to use that either. Can anyone provide help? I can get HFS to work great as long as someone is on my intranet, but I want to serve files to someone across the Internet. I am guessing that the whole problem is really in configuring the Netopia router to do an IP passthrough, but after hours of trying I don't feel I am any closer.
