<br />
A port is a number used to identify incoming and outgoing computer traffic. Programs may look to communicate over a particular port, e.g. for streaming or network shares.<br />
<br />
Ports rarely need to be specified unless asked for on the [[command-line]] or you are connecting over a network share.<br />
