File browser config trouble (alien.top)

I'm gonna start this off by admitting that I am not a smart man, I'm a windows user and I rarely ever use a command terminal, so if you are kind enough to help me out please have patience with me.

I've spent a good portion of today trying to find some sort of self hosted file sharing thing and eventually I found Filebrowser, so I downloaded their executable and ran it and I managed to get it mostly working how I want. However it all started going downhill when I tried to connect from outside my network. I know how to portforward so I opened up port 8080 but no luck. I figured out that I need to change the address it listens to but I have no idea how to change the config. I've looked through their documentation and I can see the commands I need to use but I have no idea how to use them, I've tried command prompt and the shell on the site.

Thanks in advance

At least on Linux you just include the bind address and port on the cmdline, e.g:

./filebrowser -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8008

EDIT: Just downloaded the Windows bin and seems to be exactly the same.

Thanks for your comment.

Is the cmdline you put that in the one on the browser interface, because when I put that command in it says "Command not allowed"
