This article provides information about identifying ports used by the Code42 app. You may need port information when adding CrashPlan as an approved application in your antivirus or security software.
Affects
The recommended solution below requires version 5.2.x or later of the Code42 app.
Recommended solution
To display the ports used by the Code42 app:
- Open the Code42 app.
- Open Code42 CrashPlan Commands by entering the keyboard shortcut for your operating system:
- Windows: Ctrl+shift+C
- OS X: Option+Command+C
- Linux: Ctrl+Shift+C
- Enter the following command:
connection.info - Press Enter.
CrashPlan responds with the internal IP address and port information. For example:
connection.info Address=127.0.0.1 Port=4242 UI Port=4243 HTTP Port=4244
The HTTP port is used for communication of the Code42 service and the Code42 app. The port and UI port are reserved, but not used, in version 5.x and later of the Code42 app.
