Cannot find hosted files

December 13, 201213 yr

I am trying to access a p2p hosted file from my iPhone 4 via FileMaker Pro. I have followed the instructions for enabling the database to be accessed and have also done the port forwarding bizzo, but still cannot access any of the files on my computer in Go.

When I select the host IP address my device thinks for a while, then returns the option to manually enter the filename, with the accompanying phrase: (no files available). If i go ahead and enter a file path, I get the old error message: "The file "filename" could not be opened. Either the host is not available, or the file is not available on that host."

I have scoured this forum and the FM support pages for a solution, to no avail. Whilst I have seen some posts with a similar question, I am yet to find a solution. Could there be something else that I am missing?
