Do you realize that anyone who connects to the server can get files off of your computer (and for that matter add files)? I don't have first-hand experience with that, but everywhere I've looked says port forwarding makes you at risk for hacking. So yeah.Nobody can get files THAT easily off your computer. If you only forward one port, you're fine, but you're still at some kind of low risk of any type of exploit that the hacker knows that can be used to execute code on your computer. (Fortunately, if you update your computer regularly, these security exploits are fixed within hours of their discovery.) However, if you can't or don't know how to forward ports correctly, you would probably forward ALL possible ports to your computer and put yourself at high risk. That's why there's something called a firewall![]()
.
If you run FTP, a web server, or some kind of WebDAV server, then yes, that is the only way someone could get files off the 'puter. I have some limited ports opened on my computer through my router, but they are just "a few" and will be closed once I get my server, which is where I'll run all of my dedicated servers.

I will probably be late to the meeting, as I have guitar practice today, so I'm eating a late dinner. Sorry :(

Hey guys. Sorry for the inactivity. I was recently grounded, and can only use my phone, and friends computers. So font expect me to be playing AoS any time soon. (8 or so weeks) sorry for the inconvenience.

Thuyhoang, are you are going to be in California for a while or just for Sunday? Your post was a little confusing. If you don't live in America, it will be hard to attend matches and meetings since they will be at weird times.
When life gives you melons, you may be dyslexic.
