most firewalls require FTP connections to be made in "passive mode" - for
ncftp it means you have to enter the following command "set passive yes"

Subject: [expert] ftp thru firewall
I am back working on my on again, off again linux project at work.
I need to ftp some files thru our firewall, but so far have been
unsucessful. I cannot
connect to any site. I'm on the network, and can surf via Netscape using
proxy settings.
I have ftp in netscape set up and cannot ftp, I get a site closed due to
security reasons.
I'm not after netscape ftp, more so along the lines of ncftp using a cron
job to do
automated ftp.
Using ncftp, I can do --> open sitename.com and it resolves the ip address,
but cannot
connect.
So it's getting the ip from somewhere, I haven't told it.
I have also tried gftp and it locks up the app.
Any clues? My IT knows nothing about Linux, and I don't honestly know a
whole heck of a
lot about networking.. But I really *think* the linux box is OK, but It's
easily possible
I missed something in the setup of domains, and routing.. Any help is
SURELY
appreciated!!
Thanks
Alan
