Opened ports?

[ctroyp]

I ran the port test in the control panel and it came up with the following results:

    Port 21 (tcp) is open (ftp)!
    Port 22 (tcp) is open (ssh)!
    Port 25 (tcp) is open (smtp)!
    Port 80 (tcp) is open (http)!
    Port 81 (tcp) is open (unknown)!
    Port 110 (tcp) is open (pop3)!
    Port 111 (tcp) is open (sunrpc)!
    Port 139 (tcp) is open (netbios-ssn)!
    Port 143 (tcp) is open (imap)!
    Port 443 (tcp) is open (https)!
    Port 445 (tcp) is open (microsoft-ds)!
    Port 631 (tcp) is open (ipp)!
    Port 993 (tcp) is open (imaps)!
    Port 995 (tcp) is open (pop3s)!
    Port 3306 (tcp) is open (mysql)!

Does this look correct?

If you never access SSH outside of the network, I suggest closing SSH port. Port 139 looks questionable.

There is a chance I will be using SSH in the future, but I don't need it now. I will go ahead and close it.

I thought the 139 was questionable as well, but after researching it, it looks like Samba uses it. I am running Samba on my Linux server.

Actually, I ran this test locally at the server from the ISP control panel. Is this showing the ports opened on the local IP or is it an actual test of ports that were successfully accessed from outside my LAN?

It is a portscan on localhost.

I thought it was, but wanted to make sure.

Thank you!

Here is a link to scan your server from the outside. It will basically scan knows ports that can be seen from outside of your network. Don't be allarmed if it warns you of open ports. That's why you are running a server . Just click on: Proceed --> Contunue --> All Service Ports

I mentioned to close SSH. I meant close it from being accessed from outside of your network if you are not accessing it through the internet .
