FileMaker Server Advanced Network Ports
Posted on: Jan 27, 2009
When setting Up networks to access FileMaker solutions hosted on FileMaker Server through pin holes, the following ports need to be opened and pointed at the FileMaker Server. (Turn SSL on!)
Port number; Used by
5003; FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server for hosting files
50003;FileMaker Server service (Windows) or daemon (Mac OS)
50006;FileMaker Server Helper service (Windows) or daemon (Mac OS)
This fantastic diagram outlining the various FileMaker ports was put together by the geniuses at Six Fried Rice, Configuring a Firewall for FileMaker 9 Thank you!

I think your ports are incorrect under web data. Shouldn’t it be 16004-16007?

Hi Joy,
Please see the ports 16004-16007 in red on the right of the diagram between the “Web Server” and the “Web Publishing Engine.”
Thanks for checking out the site. : )

Shouldn’t you be giving credit to the guys at sixfriedrice.com? I believe they created this diagram.
