Re: ProFTPd behind firewall
Just caught the end of this ... may be applicable to a problem I'm
experiencing myself. (Not ProFTP, but gFTP.)
As far as I know, one of my firewalls is the Mandrake SNF (Simple Network
Firewall ?), running under 2.2.19. (I'm fairly sure this is what it is.)
One of my service providers is also behind a firewall, and insists on passive
mode being turned off for any communication/transfers with them.
Of course gFTP (with passive mode turned off), just hangs if any attempt is
made to transfer anything.
Anyone know how I can reliably open up this channel in PORT mode without
compromising anything anywhere?
