You can look at links on how to set up passive FTP server behind firewall on http://c0wz.steinkuehler.net/.
Basically you need to do the setup on both router and FTP server. - On the router you port-forwarding port 20, 21 and a some additional ports (e.g. 65520-65529 as in the email suggested). - On the FTP server, you set it in passive mode, using those additional ports above and also must set it up so that it announces to the world that it uses the external public IP, NOT its internal IP). I hope this helps. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Michael D.
