Remote Containers over WAN

Ocean West
in Remote Container Fields

Featured Replies

i have a script that exports a pdf to the temp directory then inserts the FILE into a remote container.

 

Works fine when I am in my home office - but i tried to perform the same script on another mac over WAN.

 

The PDF file will insert fine IF i have the Interactive setting turned off on the container field. When it's on it doesn't seem to display anything - can't even drag & drop a pdf into the container. (The mac has Acrobat AND Preview)

I've tried both Secure Remote Containers and Open Containers, didn't seem to matter.

 

Any thoughts?

Normal embedded container data is sent through port 5003 with regular data but I think "interactive" container data is sent through port 16000 so it may be a port forwarding / firewall issue

Remote containers use port 16001 in FM13 (I believe that in FMS12 it also use port 16000).

Streaming of remote containers (also called progressive download) will use port 80 for open storage containers.

For secured storage containers, progressive download is not available.

 

So Wim is probably pointing to the correct issue with port forwarding/firewall.

So if container field is stored securely on Server, is there any way to display it to a remote Wan user? 

The secure storage has nothing to do with the ability to see it remotely.  Any container data can displayed, whether it is stored securely or not.
