/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! */ Hello All, I recently was having problems with ftp from web browsers and the command line in windows through a redhat 6.0 masq server. I used the archive for this group to search for a solution and found several others who had my problem but hadn't found a solution. Well, I found a solution so I thought I would post it back for anyone else with the problem. In order for an active ftp session to send back files or directory listing it actually need to establish a new connection back to the client. As my masq server is also a firewall, i had disabled syn cookies for all ports on the box. This was preventing the ftp server from establishing a connection back through the masq server. I issued the following command prior to the ipchains command that prevents syn cookies: ipchains -A input -p tcp -i $INTERNET_NIC -d $INTERNET_IP 49152:65535 -s $INTERNET_NET -y -j ACCEPT and everything was good in the world again.
