Thanks for your tip, but as far as I understand ftp is always opening
2 connections to the ftp-server. On is on Port 20 ( as far as I remember)
the other connection ( for the actual datatransfer ) is on some port
above 1024] . The problem is that I can not determine which port this
will be; therefore I can not pipe it through ssh. I tried passive mode
to, but this only changes the initiator of the connection on the upperport.
I'm not completely shure of this all, but thats myunderstanding of it
( it is somehow confirmed by logged ip-packets on the server-site )
Anybody knows a solution for this??
Thanks
Bert Radke
