running a server behind a firewall on a different port requires a setup on the ftp server:
following settings (for proftpd) are relevant: Port 21 - change this to reflect your preferences MasqueradeAddress your firewall's ip address or domain name PassivePorts fromport toport the last two are needed to make passive mode work (people with firewalls will like you for doing this). check if your version supports these directives. you will have to port-forward your port of choice for the ftp server and the range of passive ports as well as the ftp-data port (20) to the masqueraded host. you will have to make sure your firewall accepts connections on these ports. how to do this is specific to your distribution / firewall. since i do not restart often, i just use a little script that does the port forwarding and have actually forgotten how to configure my router. ip_masq_ftp is not relevant to the question of running a masqueraded ftp-server. i am not sure however what to do with the ftp-data port if 2 or more ftp servers run on different ports. i did consult ftp.echogent.com/docs/FTP_and_Firewalls.pdf (very good reading, btw.) -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Simon Bolduc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Datum: Mittwoch, 12.
