BitTorrent should work fine, because it has mechanisms for punching UDP holes in NATs (by agreeing on a port combination with a coordination server and having each side send a dummy UDP packet to install the mappings). The one caveat is that, for correct determination of the NATted IP address, the coordination server needs to be IPv4-only.
Not sure what's going on with SSH forwarding.
- Fnoord 8y agoWon't work if they don't have correct port forwarding enabled (which a lot of BitTorrent clients suffer from). FTP passive also doesn't work IIRC. SSH port forwarding uses TCP. Say you're listening on your IPv6 address. Well, if your client is IPv4 only you won't be able to connect. Unless you use one of those 4 to 6 services I mentioned.
- azernik 8y agoAh. I thought you meant SSH port forwarding where the client is on IPv6. Yeah, if the service has an IPv6 address only it's not going to be able to accept connections from an IPv4 client.
