Re: WLM file transfer

Hi,

The ports? all of them. They're randomly selected.

UPnP discovers the external IP address from the router/NAT, automatically opens and forwards
the port right before it's required and then closes it when the transfer completes.

Thanks for your fast answer but I have one more question though.

If wlm doesn't use ports 6891-6900 then which ports does it use and how does
the UPnP work? Does the UPnP open ports automatically?
