I'm always logical where the fact it works says NOTHING about what port it
uses, especially if it's using port-forwarding redirection tricks to do it.

We'd need something like a wireshark scan to know for sure the actual port.

Because his track record of things he "knows" about iOS is SO good.  Like the
classic "Even if only 1 line of code is changed in iOS, Apple rebuilds and
sends the ENTIRE iOS to everyone.

Hmmm... sometimes you say *exactly* what nospam says... especially since
everyone knows that only in iOS 16 did Apple change the way they released.

What's interesting is you Apple trolls are ten years behind in the facts.

Nevermind that some iOS updates are 40MB and some are 5GB.

Again, this "Tyrone" employs the same logical fallacies as nospam did, when
even Apple publicly stated they only changed the way they update in iOS 16.

The first Rapid Security Response updates for iOS 16.4.1, iPadOS 16.4.1,
and macOS 13.3.1 (Ventura) started rolling out on May 1, 2023.

What you Apple trolls don't know about iOS updates would fill a lake.

Not to mention how many times this topic has shifted. First it was "its
impossible to send a photo from Windows to iOS without using the internet". 
That, of course, was an absurd lie.

I'll always be sensible and logical since I have no vested interest in
defending Apple's honor to the death like you religious zealots often do.

Without using the Internet or any login/password account, the main ways
we've together shown iOS to be able to *receive* a file from Windows are:
a. SMB client/server
b. LocalSend
c. The iTunes bloatware abomination
d. Plus, I listed at least a half dozen other common Apple clusterfucks
   (e.g., iMazing, DearMob iPhone Manager, AnyTrans, etc.)

For you to claim that I haven't agree they all work (to some value of work)
is disingenuous on your part, because it was already proven to me.

Since I'm not an Apple troll, I have no problem agreeing with the tests
that people ran, as long as their tests & conclusions were logically sound.

Keep in mind I'm intelligent and well educated; Apple trolls are not.

Now we are at "How do nonroot Android & nonjailbroken iOS run SMB servers to
connect to each other & Windows?".  Of course this works fine, there are
several apps to do this. I have also tried FSharing from the App Store.

The purpose of this thread is simply to prove what port is being used.
Nothing yet, proves what port is being used since redirection is possible.

Not only is redirection possible, but given how iOS is designed, it's much
like how Android is designed - so this isn't an us-versus-them issue.

The question is which port is being used.
The fact that it works - does NOT prove which port is being used.

Neither does a displayed value which has been shown by others to be
editable (e.g., the "localhost" can be anything, apparently).

What he knows about iOS couldn't fill a thimble.

I'll ignore that baseless insult simply because I get it that you Apple
trolls hate me (as you hate anyone to bursts your religious bubble).

You Apple trolls have no adult defense to facts; so you insult them away.

Now back to the rather adult technical question asked of both ngs...

How do we figure out what PORT is being used when SMB servers are employed
on both iOS and Android? Anyone have an idea how to prove the port used?
