I'm asking this on behalf of a friend of mine, who isnt subscribed to this
list. This question is however of pretty general nature and could as well
have been mine ;-)
This friend of mine would like to run an FTP server on a computer that sits
behind the masquerade.
We have redirected a couple of ports, and now i'm able to ftp using the
active mode. Netscape, leapFTP and other popular tools however, use passive
mode. This results in the client trying to connect to a high port number on
a nonexistant ip (e.g. 10.1.1.2) to haul his data over.
We have found no way to solve this problem, and i would like any help you
can offer me.
Please not this is the exact reverse situation of an active mode ftp *from*
the host behind the firewall to an internet host, so presumably an
adaptation of the FTP kernel module should do the trick.
Regretfully i am not capable of implementing this.
Thanks for your time,
R.A.
