Q.
For firewall purposes, what port(s) is the iFolder client using to synchronize files?
Off the Port in Polynesia
A.
Dear Off: It uses the port that you specify to connect to the iFolder server. Most likely you are just putting in a DNS name, so it's using Port 80.
To expand on this, iFolder will typically use ports 80 and 443. However, keep in mind that if you are running iFolder on a NetWare 6 server and you have elected to install NetWare 6 using a single IP address (versus adding secondary IP addresses for each Web service), and you have installed all of the NetWare 6 Web products (including NetWare Enterprise Web Server, Apache Web Server and iFolder), the NetWare 6 port resolver has likely configured iFolder to use ports 52080 and 52443.
In other words, if it's not using ports 80 and 443, try ports 52080/52443 and 51080/51443. (Port 443 is used for secure SSL transactions, and port 80 is used for DNS.)
