| | Syncing from behind firewall I have a work computer behind a firewall that I am trying to sync with my home computer behind a router. What ports need access to be able to allow syncing to work properly? The file at home shows a .p2p extension but never finishes transferring. |

| | Re: Syncing from behind firewall Hi James, FolderShare typically uses ports 80, 443, 6571, and 8000. (You can see this list by clicking on the FolderShare icon, then choosing More -> Settings -> Port Status. You may need to click on "Test Your Connection" for the port list to appear.) If you're still having trouble syncing, try adding these ports to FolderShare's allowed list in your firewall settings. Let us know how it goes!

| | Re: Syncing from behind firewall I actually was using a Mac to sync with my PC. I figured out that the issue was not firewall related but encryption issues. As soon as I disabled Encrypt transfers on both clients they started transferring files immediately.
