Guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 I have Retro Workgroup installed here, I would like to backup my friends machine in the netherlands, he is on a cable modem. He installed the client software, but I can not connect to him,is this not possible? What port would he need to open up for this to happen if it is possible.

awnews Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 One idea (which I haven't tried even though I have INP) is to use Internet Neighborhood Pro from http://www.knoware.com/index.html ($40). In addition to its intended purpose (allowing you to FTP via a Windows I/F), it will also allow you to map an FTP site as a Windows network drive. So if you can set up an FTP connection (server) at the remote site, you should be able to create a drive letter on the PC and then use Retrospect to backup from (or to) that site. Note that cable modems are often set up with a fast download but a very slow upload (e.g.1.8M down/256K up for me) so this may be *very* slow. How about buying him his own copy of RP6 for Christmas? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyJ Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 What port would he need to open up for this to happen if it is possible. Port 497 needs to be open to TCP and UDP traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
