It has been my experience that war-ftpd has a problem with pasv mode. I have put war-ftpd behind linux ipchains firewall (not lrp but similar) and had complaints from 1/2 the users not getting a dir listing. Cuteftp has a configuration setting just for this war-ftpd pasv bug under War-ftpd specific tab. I would suggest either using just cuteftp as the client or using another ftpd (Serv-U ftpd comes to mind). > > > > Has anybody used War-FTPD on the inside of an Eigerstein LRP?
