Hello LEAF World, I'm setting up a log recording system to hard disk that also exports the logs to another machine when needed. Trying to use TFPT (because there is a client as a LEAF package available) gives problems with the firewall. "Normal" protocols use a well-known port to the server and a client-chosen return port. This allows Shorwall`s stateful packet filter to open the return port and all is OK. TFTP chooses it's ports according to some hash values at each end so that the returning UDP packets do not have the same ports numbers as the requests. The Firewall then drops these return packets as not being allowed (my rulebase only allows defined port access from the local net). As I have several hosts in the internal net, it seems impossible to predict all the possible ports to allow (and, anyway, it's lousy security). Is there a way to configure Shorewall to recognise the 'statefulness' (grammatically bad, but it describes the problem) of TFTP ? OR is there a "proper" FTP client anywhere ?
