FTP working is ok for me. Server side we look OK (open-bio FTP server).
I'm also monitoring the IDS and Firewall alerts in real time due to some other non-OBF related issues -- the only real FTP issue is that the intrusion detection appliance thinks that it has seen a few FTP:EXPLOIT:BOUNCE-ATTACK incursions against the open-bio servers today. I'm 99% certain that this is a false alarm but I have not disabled that particular attack signature yet, if your client is trying odd things and redirections (perhaps to get past a NAT gateway or firewall) then maybe you are getting caught in this trap. Random side note: if anyone tries non-anonymous FTP for longer than 2 minutes with more than 5 failed login attempts then they are candidates for instant inclusion into a "drop all packets from this IP" list maintained within the firewall. Tim - if you send me the IP address of where you are trying to connect from I can see if there are any messages on our end. -Chris open-bio.org On Jan 24, 2007, at 12:16 PM, Tim Troup wrote: > Hi, > > Is the EMBOSS FTP site down?
