Subject: NAT-ed ftp server and passive connections
Hello,
I have an issue that appears to have been looked at many times before, yet
I could not find a solution anywhere. I searched the list archives
and google but did not find much. Here is what I have
NAT-ed host --- NAT box --- Internet --- NAT box --- NAT-ed ftp server
In this setup reqular FTP works fine. Passive mode does not work, I
believe this to be because the ftp server sends a PORT cmd with the
RFC1918 IP of the ftp server. Can ip_masq_ftp.o be used at all? What
would the readers of this list use to proxy this ftp session? I would
prefer to be able to handle this in the kernel if at all possible. Thank
you in advance!
Andrew Hall
