We have a server that has been running ftpd for quite a while now. This week for some reason we can only ftp to it using passive mode. If we try to access it without using passive mode we get this:
ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. 425 Can't create data socket (X.X.X.X,20): Address already in use. Address censored. I thought the only reason you would need to run passive mode is if you are behind a firewall, but the machines using this ftp server are on the same network with no firewall in between. This machine only has a few months to live, but we really need to be able to ftp without using passive mode. Also I'm wondering if maybe someone hacked it since everyone I've asked has said they made no changes to the server or our network. If someone can point me in the right direction, to the right reading material, or whatever I would really appreciate it. -- Jason Stechschulte [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Actually, it also looks like we should optimize (13,2,42,8,'hike') into a pp_padav copy as well. -- Larry Wall in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
