Ports used by Seafile Windows Server

Seafile server has two components, so two TCP ports are used.

The two configuration files

All ports related configuration are recorded in ccnet.conf and seafile.conf.

How to open ccnet.conf

• Right click the seafile server trayicon, choose Open seafile-server folder
• Open the folder ccnet under seafile-server folder. The file ccnet.conf is there.

How to open seafile.conf

• Right click the seafile server trayicon, choose Open seafile-server folder
• Open the folder seafile-data under seafile-server folder. The file seafile.conf is there.

In the following section we list the TCP ports used by each of seafile components, as well as how to change them (For example, some port may have already been used by some other application).

Note: If you change any of the ports, you have to restart seafile server.

seafile fileserver

seafile fileserver handles raw file upload/download for Seahub

• default: 8082
• How to change: The Seafile desktop client will try to connect this port for file syncing. Don’t change this port.

seahub

seahub is the web interface of seafile server.

Note: If you change the port of seahub, you need to change the SERVICE_URL in ccnet.conf.

• default: 8000
• How to change: Edit the file seafile.conf. Change the value of port under the seahub section. (This is added in Seafile Windows Server 1.7.0.1)

[seahub]
port=8000

• Edit the file ccnet.conf, modify the value of SERVICE_URL accordingly. For example, if you have changed the port to 8001, then modify the value of SERVICE_URL accordingly:

[General]
SERVICE_URL = <Your IP OR DOMAIN>:8001
