Hi, Sorry if this is off-the-topic.
I am trying to set up a firewall on our network, but to allow ftp connections from internal machines to specific external sites (on a per-site basis). The problem I am having is that ftp seems to use ports other than 20 and 21. At the moment I only allow transfers on these two ports. This allows me to make an ftp connection (ie. the external site prompts for username password, and I can enter those) but when I try to do any transfers (ie gets, puts, or lists) they just time out. Can anybody give me a bit more info on how ftp works? Chris -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
