If you are talking about getting to the manager panel (www.myserver.co/e-smith-manager) over the internet then you should look at the howto for putty remote access.

1-Setup putty as described in the howto for port forwarding and forward port 980 to local

2-Setup e-smith for internet access for ssh.

3-Log in with putty to your server with port forwarding on.

4-Use you local browser to open that port as described in the howto.

If this is not what you are looking for then ask again.

TwiLight,

What version SME are you using

Ok, to access the server manager from the web on 5.5 and 5.6b1 goto

server manager
Remote access

At the bottom of the page is

It is possible to allow hosts on remote networks to access the SME server manager by entering those networks here. Use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 to limit the access to the specified host.

Click here to add a new entry.

Click on the hyperlink 'here'. It will take you to a page where you can set up an ip address and subnet mask to allow SSL (https://) access to the server manager.
If you want access the server manager from anywhere on the net use  ip 0.0.0.0 subnet 0.0.0.0

save then save again

Of course it is a bit of a security risk but if you have an admin/root password that is as long and as difficult as you can remember then I feel that the risk minimal, but you do do this at your own risk.

I tried the setting 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 under "server-manager->remote access-> at the bottom.  Saved & Saved & even rebooted.  I still cannot access the server-manager. I did use https://  trying to access the server-manager ... I can access the server-manager remotely ONLY by adding the 0.0.0.0 / 0.0.0.0 in server-manager under  "local network" ... and regular http.  Don't like doing this..

I have a different web server running on Port 80 on the static IP (a Win2K server) and can't change it.  So I've set up the router to forward from port 8800 externally to the SME box's port 80.  The routers is connected to a DSL box (we have a static IP).   Is there a change I need to make to the apache conf file to allow this..?  The "web page" shows up saying "under construction" just fine...

Could I have a SSL problem?

Also cannot access the /webmail from outside the network by either http or https any ideas? (public access is enabled)...  works fine on the LAN .   This is a SME box running in 'server-only' mode as a node on the network, connected to the switch/hub.  thanks...
