Dariusz,

I have heard a lot of people on this list that says that FWTK firewalls (I
thought it
was more a proxy application) were very old and not supported or upgraded
anymore...

Anyway...   the ftp part is probably the problem with how FTP works.

You have 2 types of FTP, active and passive. I don't know if you tried both
of the options but the problem will be that the LIST information is
transferred over the 
DATA channel (port 20 in active, above port 1023 for passive) and not the
COMMAND 
channel (port 21).   

If your firewall doesn't allow traffic INTO your network from source port 20
(active FTP) 
OR a rule that allows clients to set up a connection FROM your network to a
port above 
1023 (passive FTP) then the directory listing and also the transfer of files
will fail...

Maybe you have to look at your firewall how this is set up and maybe read
the 
FTP RFC for more information about how FTP works.

About the HTTP question ?   I don't know...   maybe the FWTK package is
outdated
that is can't handle new HTTP options or command and that it will therefor
drop or deny
the traffic onto the internet...

Anyway...    good luck !

Regards,



Brenno

If ya'll think I got it all wrong correct me   :o)
