Stewart: Heya. Unfortunately, you've chosen a difficult application to start with: FTP is notoriously difficult to get working behind a NAT'ing firewall. Here's a PDF which explains why:
ftp://ftp.echogent.com/docs/FTP_and_Firewalls.pdf As you can see, active FTP requires more than one port to work correctly. So it's not very clear to say that you want to "run an ftp server...with a port of 80". I *suspect* you mean that you want to run a passive-mode server which listens for connections on port-80 -- you still need to define the passive port range, though. To get the ipchains rules working, I suggest you simply start with a firewall script that works, and customize it as you need. For instance, here's the section on active FTP from the echowall.lrp setup script: $IPCHAINS -A input -s 0/0 -d $IP_EXT/32 21 -p tcp -y -l -j ACCEPT $IPCHAINS -A input -s 0/0 -d $IP_EXT/32 21 -p tcp -j ACCEPT $IPCHAINS -A input -s 0/0 -d $IP_EXT/32 20 -p tcp ! -y -j ACCEPT $IPMASQADM portfw -a -P tcp -L $IP_EXT 21 -R $FTP_HOST 21 $IPMASQADM portfw -a -P tcp -L $IP_EXT 20 -R $FTP_HOST 20 You would need to modify the use of TCP port 21 and 20 there after the "$IP_EXT" variable. Echowall also has a section on Passive-FTP of course. You'd likely want to start there.
