File sharing over Internet

Feb 14, 2005 4 Replies

Hello!



We have an MS Access DB which should be shared over Internet. The ISP(DSL) blocks file-sharing port. What options do we have to access the DB? Port 80 is also blocked.



TIA. Sam


How do you do?

No.

Well, I'm not usually in favour of ISPs blocking anything, but in this case ....

email? ftp? tftp?

What are you trying to achieve? Maybe write an ASP application to provide the interface and run it on port 81

Contact your ISP, and ask for a business class service.

Are you using a lower tier of service. Most cable and DSL ISPs block inbound connections on the lower tiers. You might solver your problem moving pay more for a higher tier of service

Well you are lucky then. They just saved your data.

Use a terminal server.
