When accessing FoxTrot Server through a firewall, a VPN, or a NAT port forwarding on a router, you should ensure that:
- the ports used are not blocked by some rules of the firewall
- the public ports (on the router or VPN) are forwarded to the actual ports used by FoxTrot Server
FoxTrot uses one port for the server itself, plus one port for each index. Use a range of ports large enough to accommodate the number of indices you have, with extra slots in case some of the ports in this range are already used by some other processes.
When using NAT port forwarding, you can either forward to the same port range (e.g. forward port range 50000-50029 on the router, to port range 50000-50029 on the server), or to a different range (e.g. forward port range 40000-40029 on the router, to port range 20000-20029 on the server).
Retrieving the files requires that file sharing is correctly configured on the OS and on the VPN (this part is completely independent of FoxTrot); then that "File Sharing integration" is enabled and correctly configured in the "sharing" pane of the index, so that the path of the found files, as seen by the server, can be translated to the path that can be used on the client, if different.
