/etc/sysctl.conf:
# Set local port range to be higher.
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768 33792
/etc/ftpaccess:
passive ports 0.0.0.0/0 32768 36863
Firewall script:
-----------------
STDPORT=32768:33792
IP=1.2.3.4/32
# Client FTP
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s $IP $STDPORT -d 0.0.0.0/0 ftp-data -y -l
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s $IP $STDPORT -d 0.0.0.0/0 ftp-data
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s $IP $STDPORT -d 0.0.0.0/0 ftp -y -l
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s $IP $STDPORT -d 0.0.0.0/0 ftp
# Server FTP
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 ftp-data -d $IP $STDPORT # Needs SYN
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 ftp -d $IP $STDPORT ! -y
[now deny all for all chains]
Unfortunately, any FTP server that doesn't use port 20 for data streams
won't work in Passive mode (oh well). So I just download elsewhere first
and then get it locally for browsers that insist upon Passive.
For allowing outgoing connections without inbound, you'd use:
ipchains -A input -j DENY -p tcp -y
or if that complains:
ipchains -A input -j DENY -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d $IP -y
You'll notice above I used '! -y' on the Server FTP rule. If I missed a
detail, it might be due to trying to condense everything I have into what
you wanted.
