Dear all, I have noticed that ftp commands EPSV and EPRT, (which supersede PASV and PORT) are not supported on FW1-NG.
In fact they are quietly blocked without sending a "500 Command Not Supported" message back to the client. This means that all new ftp clients (for example all BSD based clients: NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD etc) which by default first try EPSV/EPRT hang until timed out when the connection goes through via a FW1-NG. Does anyone on this list know a workaround or procedure to get these two commands through FW1-NG? Does anyone know if Checkpoint plans to sort out this problem? The longer it takes the more new ftp clients out there that will fail. Thanks, Richard Belt. ------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
