I assume you're trying to "Export source file via FTP" in OSA-ICC Advanced Facilities. What error are you getting? IIRC there is a NAT bridge in the HMC to handle any needed SE communications and you do not need (or want!) any IP routing changes to use the Export via FTP function. Since the FTP is initiated from the SE via OSA-ICC AF the HMC will open the NATted port. (There are firewalls in the HMC to protect itself and the HMC-SE LAN.)
