I did some reading on RFC 959, and got a weak idea how ftp works.
As Nathan wrote, I did modification suggested but I still can't telnet
to ftp box inside the router from outside world, i.e. internet.
Perhaps ip_masq_ftp is demaged, or it isn't tailored to work this way,
as mentioned below:
"ip_masq_ftp is not designed to do this. It just works with clients
inside and servers outside. I used to use redir for this kind of setup,
but with the latest FTP exploits decided to go full proxy. This is the
only secure way to set this up. Unfortunately there does not seem to be
a fully transparent ftp gateway except ftp-gw from fwtk combined with
some patches from the wild."
found on another discussion group.
As mentioned on ShareTheNet site, it should be easy to setup ftp servers
to be accessed outside the box.!
Suggestion still wanted !
