Re: accessing Pixory from outside the firewall

OK - I found a way to get past the firewall (not a long term config, 
but OK for a while). I still don't understand why my calls to 8081 
were not being passed before, but hey, I am not a real sysadmin, I 
just do my best with the firewall.

Now that I have a way to test (now that I can see something) I can 
look at the datastream and see if I can figgure out what is going on. 
More importantly, now I can support my customer. Now all I have to do 
is get the sysadmin to set up pixory on my main server so I can do so 
24/7.

I also resolved my download one at a time issue by learning how the 
ftp works. I would prefer an icon by the file, but hey, it works and 
I am not complaining. The download full albums choice is a nice 
feature too.

Thanks,

Cecil

PS - More config info would still be welcome.
