RE: Is there any way to disable passive mode on ftpd?
Sorry Alvaro, I forgot to send this to the list... oops. -Original Message- From: Liquid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: December 3, 2002 11:39 AM To: 'Alvaro Gil' Subject: RE: Is there any way to disable passive mode on ftpd? I have a better question perhaps... Is it possible to set specific ports for passive mode on the ftpd? Though it is possible to simply rdr the ports to the machine running this anonymous ftp, I don't think it would be wise to redirect ports in that range as they are often used by other services aren't they? If that's not possible, I guess I need to know the same thing as Alvaro here was asking... -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Alvaro Gil Sent: December 3, 2002 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Is there any way to disable passive mode on ftpd? My server is behind a NAT firewall until I have time to put it in front of it. People are having trouble downloading from the anonymous FTP server. I understand that normal the ftp sever goes into passive mode and opens a new port in the high 1000-5000 ranges. How can i force it to use port 21 for all connections? Even though I urged everyone to set their clients correctly, some people cannot do so. Some people are having trouble with this movie.

If that's not possible, I guess I need to know the same thing as Alvaro here was asking... The other problem is that when it goes into passive mode, the ip changes form a global one to the local ip the machine is on! So it really only works well on the local network -- Alvaro Gil http://www.AlvaroGil.com '84 Volvo 242 Turbo (Silver) 15 psi '97 Leopard Gecko (White, Yellow, Black) NJIT Mechanical Engineering Student To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
RE: Is there any way to disable passive mode on ftpd?
Now I don't know if that's a result of using a certain NAT setup vs another, but I'm using ipnat + ipfilter, and I had ftp forwarded to a windows box, and it worked fine for ftp, setting ports 10010-1030 for passive mode. I then decided to play with ncftpd on a linux box a while back, and it too worked, using the same ports and such. When the NAT does its thing, if I'm to understand this correctly, the ftp will think that anything coming in is coming from the gateway anyway... so its ok if it's the LAN IP's.. or something like that. I'm going to read through the ipfilter whitepaper again and find exactly what was said there. (If you're using ipf already, you really must look at www.obfuscation.org/ipf ) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Alvaro Gil Sent: December 3, 2002 11:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Is there any way to disable passive mode on ftpd?
