how to test if port 6555 and 6556 are open on windows and Linux?

[Robert Haussmann]

I assume this is for the license manager?  In Windows you can try telneting the destination IP address with the specific port:


telnet [hostip] [port]


so:  telnet 192.168.1.10 6555


if you get a connection, the port is open and listening.  If it rejects, it cannot reach that ip/port combination.


I'm sure the same can be done in Linux, even the same syntax.


Unfortunately telnet has been disabled by default from a few Windows versions back.  You have to go into features to add the telnet client (or just download putty or the like).

Hi Experts - Filepro requires that ports 6555 and 6556 are open on
windows and Linux?

How can I test to make sure that is the case?

thanks
