Port Forwarding Easy File Sharing Web Server on the Apple AirPortExtreme
Before we can forward ports for Easy File Sharing Web Server, we need to figure out what ports Easy File Sharing Web Server is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Easy File Sharing Web Server.
On the main page of Easy File Sharing Web Server, you will see a bunch of options. There should be a Port box right at
the top of the Easy File Sharing Web Server page. This box contains the port that needs to be forwarded in your router for Easy File Sharing Web Server
to work. You can change this port to whatever you like. If you change the port to something other than 80, people connecting to Easy File Sharing Web Server
will have to specify that port number when connecting. Let's say your routers external ip address is 205.181.0.9, and you specified port 500 in
Easy File Sharing Web Server. Someone connecting to Easy File Sharing Web Server would type http://205.181.0.9:500 into their web browser. Please
enter the port you chose for Easy File Sharing Web Server below.
