CLOSED: Access Owncloud from outside local network
Re: Access Owncloud from outside local network
There is a solution such as you mention. It's called Amahi Anywhere. It provides access to your shares outside the network and streams videos as well. Apps for Android and iPhone are available.

Re: Access Owncloud from outside local network
That app is actually pretty cool. It automatically switches between Local and Remote and works! It impressed me.There is a solution such as you mention. It's called Amahi Anywhere.

The huge thing that's missing is being able to upload pictures and such to the server via the app.. I wonder if they are looking at adding that option..
And that just made Owncloud useless to me.. Mapping network drives works much easier inside my network..When I first ran across Owncloud I thought that it was designed primarily for external use, but then I started doing some digging on there forums finding that a lot of people feel the security risk outweighs the benefit. In fact Owncloud's main page states "ownCloud is perfect for use inside your company. Your data on your servers, under your control. ownCloud Inc offers Enterprise editions with extensive support." .... I think this is also portrayed by the total lack of SSL package integration in the setup of Owncloud. (but that last part is just my opinion).

Re: Access Owncloud from outside local network
Might be worth suggesting it to the ownCloud developers via the ownCloud Forums.

Re: Access Owncloud from outside local network
Hello
Re-starting this thread as I have a similar issue on owncloud.
It is now all working (had troubles before...) and now I want to access the server from externally. I am trying to access it by editing the ports access as by editing the .conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d folder as follows (note - XXXX are the port numbers)
I use proxypass as it was the same syntax used on sickbeard and others.
When I try to do some self diagnosis, I entered and found that the ports that sickbeard et al are open. Do i need to do the same for owncloud? If so, how?
(nb - yes i made sure the port forwarding on the router is correct)

Re: Access Owncloud from outside local network
I ended up using HDAConnect to VPN into my network remotely. It works like a charm!!
