I am wondering how to change the port of SME's webserver for outside websites. I already have websites internally that I can't change the ports for. I want to have www.foobar.com:xx as www.foobar.com:80 is already being forwarded inside the SME network.
I want to keep the server-manager page to continue to be on the standard port (80), if possible. If it can't be done without changing the internal website, then so be it... I still need to change the ports.
Along the same lines, maybe better in a different post??
I would like to see more granular settings for changing remote access. I would like to have remote access (port 22) available to only one specific IP address. As it is now, you open the port for all, or none. Kinda lame.
Any help would be appreciated.

ssh: Enter the single remote IP as a "local network", then tell ssh to only allow access from local networks. ("local networks" might better be read as "trusted networks")
server-manager is really on 443 (https), I think, so no problem there.
If you're already forwarding 80 to an internal host, just setup another forwarding rule to forward your alternate port to port 80 on localhost (this will work from outside, but not from inside)

sme7 does have a lot of control "under the bonnet" thanks to the developers.

Be careful what you say as that's not quite correct. A search on ssh would have found this which allows you to specify allowed IP's.

RayMitchell,
I feel like Madonna... I am a Windows guy, and I live in a Windows world. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the command line, it is just knowing the how, when, why, and where that gets me...
That being said, I guess a have a problem with the documentation for SME server, or I am looking in the wrong places.
The problem with SME in my view is that although it is easy for beginners, it is also made tough to modify by the server. Since things are changed in an unorthodox manner (in comparison to most Linux distro's) it is hard to know what can be modified and not be "reverted" by SME.
Also, if many changes can be made, and the info is in the developers guides, then they really aren't developers guides..... they are users manuals. I have never looked in there as I am not a developer, and have no aspirations of being a developer, but I do make changes that many System Administrators would make. I guess I need to look through the developers areas.
I am fairly new to SME, I know many of you have been around a while and have been through all of the pains, and learned all of the in's and out's of SME, some of newer users comments may seem critical and uncalled for in your eyes, because you have always seen SME the way it is.
But, unfortunately we as newer users don't have that knowledge to fall on, so we rely on you guys to guide us in the right direction, and hopefully some of our critical comments won't fall on deaf ears, but enlightened eyes, this is how changes (that others haven't thought to make) can be made... you know, progress. :-)
....No flame intended.... just writing my thoughts
Thanks for your help. I will dig a little deeper. I hadn't thought to look up SSH.
