Hi,
I'm trying to modify the zope ftp-access to specify a port range
within the server selects the ports for the passive ftp communication
with the ftp-clients. This is in order to have the Zope server behind
a firewall blocking more then the privileged ports only.
I managed to modify the passive_acceptor within the medusa ftp server
file. The problem I have is that certain FTP clients (e.g. gftp)
close there connection because of messages coming from the server.
The code I have modified is in
/usr/lib/zope/ZServer/medusa/ftp_server.py
class passive_acceptor (asyncore.dispatcher):
ready = None
def __init__ (self, control_channel):
# connect_fun (conn, addr)
asyncore.dispatcher.__init__ (self)
self.control_channel = control_channel
self.create_socket (socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
to=open('/tmp/zope.log','a')
for i in range(10000,11000):
# bind to an address on the interface that the
# control connection is coming from.
to.write("ftp connection - port %d\n"%i)
bres = self.bind ((
self.control_channel.getsockname()[0],
i
))
to.write("ftp connection - bind:"+`bres`+"\n")
if bres == None :
break
self.addr = self.getsockname()
self.listen (1)
to.close()
Accessing the Zope-server through a firewall that has only the ports
10000 to 11000 open using gftp allows the firs connection but
disconnects with an error message when I change the directory.
The error message is:
451 Server Error: socket.error, (98,'Address already in use'): file:
/usr/lib/zope/ZServer/medusa/asyncore.py line: 250
Do you have any hints on this?
Thanks and Best Regards
Tobias
