I can't imagine why you would want to run FTP on a firewall. Firewalls are designed to do one job and one job only, and do it well. For security, you are best sticking to letting it do its one job. Besides which, FTP sends passwords in clear text. A better alternative is scp which uses ssh and is encrypted the whole way. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net "TV is chewing gum for the eyes." - Frank Lloyd Wright -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
