Topic: RCP SME Server

[McKruger]

Hi
Sorry if this is a retarded question and if its been asked before.

When i access my SME Server from outside the local network using RCP using xxx.domainname.co.za.
How do i make it so that when someone connects it is routed to a PC within the local network with  IP 10.0.0.3
 
I think it has something to do with port forwarding but i do not know how to exactly set it up.

Could anyone help me please.

or would that be more in the line of OpenVPN ?

For an internal windows system, I use port forwarding on the SME and remote desktop on the windows system.

For an internal linux or osx system, I use port forwarding on the SME and ssh/scp.

If I haven't setup either of the above, on an ad-hoc basis I tunnel a port to a LAN system through an ssh connection to the SME itself.

I have also used webdav with folders from LAN systems mounted to the SME, Dropbox (on workstations and on the SME) and Owncloud.

add info re: webdav, dropbox, owncloud

I have SME Server 8 running as email/internet server.
I have a Windows Server handling the data centralization.

I would like to remotely connect to the Windows server through the SME Server.

How would i accomplish this. ?

If i wanted to connect to the windows PC through SME Server what values would i insert here

Protocol : ?
Source Port(s) : ?
Destination Host IP Address : 10.0.0.3
Destination Port(s) : ?
