is that for all versions of FMP Server (I am on Mac 5.5v4) I am have problems seeing hosted files as a local host across a VPN.

pdrasnin -

Can you see the files if you enter the IP address into the hosts dialog?

[pdrasnin]

yes.. That works.. my problem is that an outside FMP devoloper needs access into our VPN to fix a password protected script to make it work remotely.. I always thought VPN meant Local Host for all clients accross the network.. Am I missing something.. Many thanks in advance..

I believe it depends on your network setup - if your VPN assigns an IP address on the same subnet as the FileMaker machine hosting the databases then they should show up in the list - if not the developer will need to enter the IP. Some network devices will not pass the FileMaker hosts broadcast past the subnet.
