how do u switch your file server from local host only to public so others can download it off your file server?

Hi ghento

I suppose you don't want to make your server only accessible from 'outside' of your lan (of course, you can ban all addresses from lan, if you want  ;) ), but your problem seems to be the initial setup.

Please take look to the wiki: http://rejetto.com/wiki/index.php/HFS_Documentation_%28English%29 , and for initial setup especially http://rejetto.com/wiki/index.php/First_time_configuration .

to know if your server is working over the internet correctly, Menu > self-test

the above thread didnt help any, i already have ports set for it, thats not the issue, the issue is that its ONLY connecting through localhost only, people from the internet cant download it because it is only set for localhost only, i have done the self test and it says it works but thats not accurate

you say the self-test is wrong? would you bet $100 ? :D
just a joke. i mean it will hardly say "ok" if it's not "ok", and you should double check.
what HFS version are you using?

Is it possible that
Menu > Accept connection on >
is checked for 127.0.0.1 ?
If so checking "Any Address" might solve the problem.
