Currently there is a disagreement between me and the Apple

Boiling it down to the essentials, the Apple trolls insist that
iOS is  magical in that it can bind to privileged ports (somehow
magically so).
While that would be nice, my view is more pragmatic in that my
understanding of iOS is that an SMB server can not bind to those
ports.
The beauty of this discussion, for the purpose of determining
whether the  Apple trolls have the capacity to admit when they're
wrong and apologize...
Is that it's a binary issue.
a. Either the Apple trolls are correct
b. Or, the Apple trolls are wrong

Will they apologize?
Or not?

Arlen is already proven wrong, by 3 sources.  Myself, Jolly Roger and
the app in question. The SMB Server on iOS DOES use port 445.

But as usual, he can't accept it and will never apologize for being
such a dipshit.

 
 
I'm not discounting your earlier screenshot, but how do you know the
program isn't intercepting incoming traffic at Port 445 and forwarding
it to another port?  Without a network scanner that would be hard to
tell.

Hence there would be no NEED to forward the traffic to another port.

Arlen and badgolferman just can't help but show the world just how
ignorant they are - all while screaming that Apple users don't know
anything. If either of them had an ounce of self awareness, they'd be
too embarrassed to show their faces here again. 🤣
