Due to all the people who try to do active FTP with NATted clients behind pf firewalls doing lots of questioning about why they should have read the FAQs I find it difficult to construct a query to Mrs Google about whether it is possible for an active FTP session to happen from the NAT/Firewall itself.
I'm sure I've seen a reference to it in the past but I didn't file it because I never (willingly) do active FTP - now Murphy comes around and I need to get files from outside the firewall from a server that only does acive FTP. Does that force the use of a NAT client and the proxyFTP or is there a direct way to get the files at the firewall host? Pointers to deficiencies in my research are thankfully received.... >From the land "down under": Australia. Do we look <umop apisdn> from up over? Do NOT CC me - I am subscribed to the list.
