*These instructions are applicable if you use the TimeCapsule as your internet router
These steps will not work if your Internet Service Provider blocks access to port 445. You may need to contact your ISP and have them remove this block.
These details apply to TimeCapsule and to AirportExtreme devices with attached USB hard drives configured with the most recent OSX Airport Utility (version 6.0) - where 'TimeCapsule' is mentioned below, if you have an AirportExtreme, the same applies.
These instructions assume that you have already successfully configured and connected FileBrowser to your Time Capsule locally.
Connecting remotely requires more configuration than a local connection. If you have a VPN to your home network, the settings for local TimeCapsule access should allow you to connect with no additional configuration.
These instructions assume that your TimeCapsule is also your router.
These instructions help you to connect using the Internet IP address of your TimeCapsule. If you have not purchased a static IP address from your ISP) you will need to use a service such as noip.com or dyndns.org - Once you have obtained a domain name from one of these services (they are free), replace the external IP address with this domain name.
Start the AirPort Utility and on the main page, click on the TimeCapsule icon to reveal a popup (not shown) - the IP address will be listed in the popup. In this example we will use the IP address 86.19.62.26 but yours will be different
Then select 'Edit' on the popup. NOTE If you then select the Internet tab, the IP address of the router is also shown.
