Re: FTP thro' firewall
The WS FTP thingy you're refering to is for going through proxies. Some
folks just don't know the difference between firewalls and proxies. :) To
do this just set up port forwarding on the firewall. Use ipchains or
something and only allow ftp connections from your known boxes to pass
through. Allow nothing from the jungle side. You should then be able to
transparently connect to the outside world.
