I have problems to share files using Bonjour, sometimes works, sometimes not.
All ports below, are open on my router.
TCP
5220, 5222, 5223, 5269, 49175, 49177, 50343, 7777
UPD
4500, 4501, 5060, 5353, 5678, 52330, 52074
TCP/UPD
5190, 5297, 5298, 16384-16403

Only the red ones refer to Bonjour.
Bonjour is local traffic and in most routers would not be effected by the settings anyway.
The Blue refer to other ports used by iChat/Messages.
The two in the TCP section are Jabber ports (it might also be using port 7777 if you are running a Jabber server)
5060 is an old iChat 2 and 3 port for sending SIP invites (the bit behind the scenes after the Visible invite has been seen).
The Group of 20 is also from iChat 3 days. Newer version and Messages use only 10 ports (16393-16402) which is inside the group of 20 anyway. (The SIP bit moved to port 16402 as well)
In an AIM chat the login used to be on port 5190 TCP
When you sent files of Pics-in-chats then it moved to port 5190 on the UDP protocol.
In Yosemite the AIM login is not on port 443 but it still moves to port 590 UDP for file sending.
It seems that Apple may have copied this 2 port process with the 5297 and 5298 (only the latter needs to be both).
I have not been able to "prove" this though as I have not found a utility for monitoring the local traffic as well as the Internet stuff.
There are reports in Yosemite that the File sending in general is not as good as in early versions particularly when you are sending to earlier versions of Messages or iChat versions.
A work-around seems to be to zip (compress) the files first.

Not works 😟
Hi,
Is there any reason you are using Triggering rather than UPnP ?
UPnP is normally a simple ON/Off Selection.
The ports are then opened by the computer (app) and you don't have to worry about listing them all.
On most you also get info about how long the ports will stay open after non use (you can normally reduce it from the standard 30 mins) and the number of "Hops" it uses. (Router to computer is 1 hop. The default is normally 4).
Judging by the Log info the issue is with the app (or rather the bit that handles File Transfers)
Reinstall the OS as it is the only way to get e new copy of the App.
