You can configure the Mac OS X firewall to permit or deny incoming network communications. To use the Mac OS X services, such as file sharing, Windows Sharing, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access, you must open specific ports to enable network communication for that service. For more information about the Mac OS X firewall, see your server documentation.
