I'll have to agree with Ray one this one. There is generally a higher port that ftp servers use for multiple traffic requests on the server side of the net (ie... port 1021 is common for Linux ftp server traffic). However you should not need to open anything on your firewall to RECEIVE a requested ftp file. In 2.2 LEAF boxes, udp traffic is not blocked, only tcp which would normally be request instead of a response. The 2.4/iptables LEAF firewalls use connection tracking, so if your client/firewall requested a ftp file it will remember and accept it. The only possible option I can think of an ISP using a different port would be some form of a proxy, which is not typical of any decent ISP that I am aware of. I would have to think that something very fishy is going on with your ISP. Is your ISP running NAT??? This could be the only reason for using a different port for NAT transversal. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
