Default What's the best way to forward SMB TCP port 445 to something higher than 1024 on Windows?

I can't blame you for not following all he posts, but he *did* and

it to work on Windows *10*. (He used it before on some other Windows
version - probably Windows XP - and I used (no longer need it) it on
Windows 8.1.)

He has asked for others to test it on Windows 10, but AFAICT nobody
has done so. I wonder why!? :-)

If you have Windows 10 and want to help him, please feel free.


Hi Frank,
Don't hold your breath for Rudy Wieser to ever do anything an adult would
do, where he can only play his silly little childish fifth-grade games.

Thankfully, a person posted on the a.c.f ng that he tested FTPUse on
Windows 10, which worked just fine for him using the same OliveTree FTP
server I used.

I asked him to check the SFTP NetDrive freeware & will report back if he
runs that SFTP Net Drive test successfully.
o https://www.nsoftware.com/sftp/netdrive/ (it took a bogus name & email)

Since I already had two working solutions (both DnD and ND worked fine for
me), as I said before, I won't bother to debug why both SFTPNetDrive and
FTPUse fail for me.

Bear in mind that my network is "slightly complex" as NetBIOS broadcasts
are blocked, for example, so my home network is "slightly" non standard.

Also, I've modified the hell out of Windows 10, with over 200 tutorials
written alone for what to change, so it really should have been tested on a
pristine system, but since I already have two working solutions, it's not
worth that kind of effort.

The good news is that FTPUse works on Windows 10 so _others_ can use it.
That's all I really care about.
