With FW4.1 sp0 i have had no problem with setting this up (i did not know it
was ident, so set up an additional resource)
In my case I was wanting to test the T1 microwave link we have.
I successfully and repeatedly downloaded 20mb files
Higher link speed may perhaps be an issue?
Before I knew we needed this ident rule set up, the ftp session would
connect and then after a time timeout (30 to 60 sec)
Teh ftp session was anonymous , but we did have to set the ident rule up
even to make aonymous work.
cheers

My support people have told me that older FTP servers using IDENT are a
problem for FW-1. I don't know what version this started with, but I am
seeing quite a bit of FTP problems that are similar happening for version
4.1 SP1.

having problems accessing the FTP server on our ISP. From the log I see my
initial ftp connection passing through but the return message is dropped.
The service that the returned message is 'ident', a predefined service for
port 113. I then create a rule to allow this 'Ident' service to pass thru.
The log shows it is accepted but I still cannot access the FTP site. I have
no problems accessing other FTP sites. But most sites I do download from
allow anonymous sessions. Has anyone encountered this type of problem? Any
help will be much appreciated.
