Hi,

I would like to transfer my SQL Database very often to my Web site hosted somewhere in USA. I want to use DTS for that using SQL Server ENTPRISE MANAGER.

Now I have everything in place, I know the IP address of the remote server, and I have created the database there as well.

But problem is here, when i wen to register that Remote sql server, that it says access denied. I asked my local admin, how can I access to that remote server, then he says that you need to provide the protocol and port, so that he can allow it from firewall. can i know what protocol SQL Server uses to communication? i think TCP/IP and port by default 4333? am I right?

and at last, I need to know the best practise to update my data on remote web server? I mean syncronizing.

Thanks heaps.

Bye

protocol is TCP/IP Port is 1433 by default unless changed by your remote host.

To register your server use the domain name of your MS SQL server and not the IP.
