Hi, I would like to access my Windows PC from remote locations via filesharing. What port does file sharing use so I can set up my router for forwarding? Thanks
 
unless your using some sort of vpn tunnel (ssh) to encrypt that session, thats gonna be a very bad idea. but the port is 139 if i remember correctly
 
Win9X uses 137 udp and 193 tcp, NT uses 139 tcp until Win2K where it starts using 445 in addition to 139.

But generally that's a bad idea and most ISPs filter SMB traffic anyway so there's no easy way to tell whether it'll work or not from any given place.
 
There are Ffile Sharing programs that allows you to choose the port.
Look at the Shareware Sites.
