Topic: port 7000 open on my sme 55

[Dirk]

i dit a remote scan and it appears that beside the standard ports port 7000 is open.

It reads by the scanner as file-server itself.

can anybody explain what this port can be and what software it relates to?

txs in advance

regards

If you are still using 5.5, it could be anything. Maybe it's something extra you installed (an IRC or game server, perhaps). Or maybe not.

If you are lucky, you can see which program has that port open by doing:

# netstat -anp | grep 7000

And just in case, you should read:
