FileMaker Database
**FileMaker** is a cross-platform relational database application known for combining a database engine with a graphical user interface and security features, often used for business apps and rapid development. On port 5003, FileMaker Server handles client database connections..
FileMaker Pro and FileMaker Server use TCP and UDP port 5003 for client-to-server communication. This enables client applications to connect to hosted FileMaker databases for data retrieval, updates, and management. The protocol supports interactive requests, enabling real-time collaboration and multi-user access across networks.
Internally, port 5003 facilitates the proprietary client-server protocol that manages queries, data synchronization, record locking, and script execution. It underpins a platform that integrates scripting, layout tools, and external data sources like SQL databases and web APIs, allowing flexible application development.
Usage of port 5003 is largely limited to FileMaker's custom protocol, and it typically requires the FileMaker client. Administrative tasks, such as backups, user management, and deployment, also rely on this port. Firewalls and proxies are often configured to allow these connections explicitly.
