Hi, sometimes somebody wants to see my file list. But if you share your own file list,you must know the IP and port, which this person uses. In the log file I get the user-ID and it is no problem to convert it in an IP, but how I can estimate his port? Because if I go on tab MESSAGES and want to ADD someone, than his IP-Address and his port is required...

in emule>options>security :

"See my shared files/directories

This option is used to determine who can view a list of your shared files and directories (it does not affect the sharing of files itself). It offers three settings:

o Everybody
Any client that want to know what files you have shared will be sent an overview of your shared files/directories.

o Friends Only
Only people you have added to your friends list will be able to see your shared files/directories.

o Nobody
eMule will deny all requests for displaying your shared files/directories."

Hi GoldenEmule, thanks for your answer. But why this manual option is created - adding a friend about his IP and his port, if I can't use it?

I know the configuration settings, that you have suggested. But I don't want share rigorous my file list. So I look for an option, which gives me the possibility to share my file list for user A, but not for user B. Unfortunately the user names aren't unambiguous and sometimes 15, 20 user have the same name. In this case, the option to add an user per his name into your friend list enabling him to see my file list.

And why can user request my file list, if I can't share it even I want it (but not generally)?Thanks for your efforts in advance

is so hard find a "friend" on emule ! but when it's happens , and add he as a friend , you can use the second choice :
o Friends Only
Only people you have added to your friends list will be able to see your shared files/directories.

"How can I add a friend?
Friends are managed in the Messages main window. To add a friend, right click in the Friends list and choose -> Add Friend. You need to have following information:
• IP Address – mandatory. You got to have it. Just ask your future friend.
• Port – mostly 4662; also mandatory
• Name – Choose any name. Not needed.
Another way to add friends is by directly right-clicking on any source in the Transfer main window and choosing -> Add to Friends. eMule will then fill in all required information."

P.S. : you can find him even exchanging a ed2k link .

That's a remainder from prehistoric days. I'm quite sure the majority of mules do not use this port number now.
Be careful when quoting Docs.

jslslsl,
do you always add total strangers to the friend's list?
You have two options:
you know who is your friend, and that friend tells you IP and port number
or
you can find your friend in Transfers/Queue/Known Clients.
