Don't use an FTP resource.  In NG AI go to SmartDefense, FTP, FTP
Security Server and make sure "Configurations apply only to connections
related to resources used in the Rule Base" is selected.

Then your FTP rule would just be for service FTP.

Subject: [FW-1] EPSV/EPRT not supported

Dear all,

I have noticed that ftp commands EPSV and EPRT, (which
supersede PASV and PORT) are not supported on FW1-NG.

In fact they are quietly blocked without sending a
"500 Command Not Supported" message back to the
client.

This means that all new ftp clients (for example all
BSD based clients: NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD etc) which
by default first try EPSV/EPRT hang until timed out
when the connection goes through via a FW1-NG.

Does anyone on this list know a workaround or
procedure to get these two commands through FW1-NG?

Does anyone know if Checkpoint plans to sort out this
problem? The longer it takes the more new ftp clients
out there that will fail.

Thanks,

Richard Belt.
