Filemaker server ports6/20/2023 ![]() FileMaker uses specific ports (doors) to allow your client computers to enter into the 'store' that has your Crate Pro 6 database. If the door is 'locked' for the store you want to enter, you can't get in. However, some companies lock or close ports as an additional security measure.Ī port is like a door which allows you to enter a specific store. In most cases you don't have to do anything within the router for your local clients to see your Crate Pro database files when you start FileMaker Pro. If after entering the host/server IP you do not see your files, as long as the ports are open on the hosting network, most likely your network security setting or the firewall on the host./server are blocking the ability to see the files. Once you see the Crate Pro 6 file, you are connected and can open Crate Pro 6 normally. Select the host/ server you entered from the list and allow a minute to locate the network > host > then the Crate Pro 6 files. You may also enter an optional name for that server. Locate the click on the + located at either the bottom or top of the window (based on FileMaker version) and enter the external IP address of the host or server computer. FMP 17-19: The CREATE screen opens initially.Click on the X in upper right corner to see the Launch Center.
