What is Port 7878 Used for?

Post by JasonW »

I'm looking at the firewall installer script (for linux) it opens up port 22, 80, 443, and 7878. I can't find any info about port 7878 is used for, except that it belongs to something that looks 3rd-party-ish: Opswise Message Service?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

In the XI GUI, there is a ssh terminal called shellinabox which you can use in the GUI for a command prompt. That uses port 7878 on the server.
