your cuteftp client at work is uisng passive mode, i assume thatis because work is behind a firwall that won' allow active ftp, toget passive mode to work with proftpd you need to allow the ftp client to either: i) connect to any random high port or ii) connect to a range of ports specified on your proftpd.conf file, either way the port that the client connects to must be opened on the target system, if you can't use active ftp from your client then i suggest opening a range of ports on the home system and listing them in /etc/proftpd.conf as follows
----snip---- #this allows passive ftp connections on a specified range PassivePorts minport maxport #this specifies the ip of the masquerading firewall MasqueradeAddress firewall-ip-address ---snip----- i place this next to the global stuff at the top of proftpd.conf i have used a very small range of ports since my ftp box is low traffic and non-public, those ports are then opened and forwarded to the ftp box from the firewall, you must choose what you think appropriate bascule
