Open File Server properties
When using the IDE as an external viewer or editor, you can control the behavior of the server that listens to open requests. Choose Tools | Global Options... from the main menu and select the
Open File Server
node in the Global Options window. You can configure how the server should behave by adjusting the following properties:
- Access Restriction - By default, only open requests from the same machine are honored, so that other people cannot open files in your IDE. If you set this property to
Any Host
, any incoming requests will be honored. (Many local area networks prohibit arbitrary traffic from entering the network from the Internet, so this is not necessarily as unsafe as it sounds. Also note that the request is sent through UDP, which most firewalls will not pass.)- Port - You may configure the port the server runs on, which might be necessary if another program is using port 7318.
- Running - You may set this property to
False
to stop the server, orTrue
to turn it back on.Stopping the server only affects using the launcher - it does not affect opening files from within the IDE using the toolbar button or menu item.
