router & port problems / Re: Port 7000 changes to port 1000 . . .

Right.  Sorry.  The problem is infrequent.  It's occurred three or four times now since I began using HFS several months ago -- but all of the times have been relatively recently.  Also, in response to your prompt, I tried shutting it down and re-starting it just now.  It re-started with Port 7000 set properly (in other words, unchanged).  Every computer re-boot re-starts HFS, of course, and the problem doesn't arise that often (I try to re-boot once a day).

Hi . . . Thanks for asking.  I'm using V. 2.2f, build 155.  I probably did use the self-test before noticing the port had changed.  But then when the self-test failed, I would examine the cause and notice the port was incorrect.  Still, I don't associate this issue with the self-test, principally because I have used the self-test many times successfully, and without this symptom.  Best, Richard.

router & port problems / Port 7000 changes to port 1000 . . .

I have a (minor) problem that superficially resembles the one described in this thread: topic=6943.0 .  I run HFS on XP Home, SP3.  I use port 7000, forwarded without any difficulty through my router.  Every so often, the port seems to spontaneously change to 1000, breaking accessibility.  I suspect it is related to events, such as temporarily changing from a static internal IP on my LAN to a dynamic one set by DHCP, but though I know that would break accessibility because port forwarding would no longer be directed to the correct IP, I can't see why that should change the port setting on HFS.  As I mentioned, I regard this to be a minor problem, thus far.  It has occurred infrequently, and each time I have fairly quickly identified the incorrect port setting, and reset it.

Thanks for any thoughts or similar accounts you might share.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Fios & HFS

Wow.  Verizon's online TOS prohibit running any server of any kind!  I didn't know that, but just confirmed it.  I have a couple of questions: (a) is this a common prohibition, or do other ISPs either allow servers, not address the issue in their TOS, or allow exceptions for low-bandwith uses?  (b) Has anyone ever, to anyone's knowledge, actually encountered a problem with Verizon over running HFS?  Thanks!

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / How do I delete a user account?

« on: October 12, 2009, 03:20:56 PM »

I created a user account on HFS.  How are these accounts managed, for instance, change password or delete/remove the account entirely?  I couldn't find those options.  Many thanks!
