    1) Bi-directional.

    2) The default dynamic port range is 1025 to 65535. Secondly, open atleast 6 ports per resource. So if a remote server contains 3 resources such as C:\, D:\ and System State, open atleast 18 ports. You can specify the range from BE button - Configuration & Settings - BE Settings - Network & Security.
