Alteryx Server Connectivity - Port 445 issue

Question

Hi Community,

Was wondering if any of you came across issue of opening up of port 445 on Alteryx Server in terms of file transfer from and to other instances.

What could be an efficient solution in case if port 445 lock-down is unavoidable?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Emil_Hasanov ,

Blocking port 445 (SMB) blocks the normal method Windows uses to access shares. Therefore, I would not expect any ability to access remote folders.

Thanks,

Hi @madler_alteryx

Flat files. Various formats: *.txt, *.xlsx, *.xls, *.yxdb, *.csv, etc.

Thanks in advance!
