XRDP and SAMBA via Internet

[michaelkrtikos]

Hello everyone,

I have finally set up my RPi exactly the way i wanted. I have a dual boot system with Raspbian and OpenELEC. On Raspbian i have set up xrdp (with static IP address) for remote access and Samba for NAS capabilities. The OpenELEC is more or less standard i have just installed the desired add-ons. I have also created an image of my SD card and saved it on my computer as a clean install with the packages i need.

The way it is now, i can access it either via xrdp or via the mapped network drive i have created on my computer. I also use PocketCloud (for remote access) and FileExplorer (access to the NAS) from my iOS devices. I can only access it on my local network though.

I would like to be able to access both of the above services via Internet. For example, when i am shooting a picture with my phone i can later on upload it to my drive from anywhere. Also when i want to change a setting i would like to be able to remote access my system via RDP.

I have forwarded some ports on my router but it doesn't seem to work. Since i am a new user to all these, could you please instruct me with simple steps what settings i need to set (either on router or on the OS) in order to be able to achieve the desired results?

Thank you very much in advance!
