Hello there, in order to allow active and passive ftp connections to an ftp server behind the firewall, you should do a ftp port-forwarding to the real ftp server wich will allow you active ftp connections. In order to allow passive ftp connections also, you should open all the 1024: TCP ports in the Internet Traffic section ... I have tested this here with lftp (uses passive connexions in its default config) and ncftp (active connetcions with the default config). Unfortunately, one cannot forward the 49152 port of the firewall to the 21 port of the real server. The forwarding used in the SNF frontend assumes that the source and the destination ports are identical. This might change in the future versions ... cheers, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com
