Hey All,

I have an update.

I have checked in with my Network Administrator at the college that I
attend.  I talked to him regarding the issue with the FTP.

As he did say, FTP uses port 21 for Control, and port 20 to send information
out to the client.

However, to recap, I have noticed that the Sambar Server will send
information out of ports usually starting with 4700 and for each additional
packet it sends out, it will increment the port by one.. so the next data
sequence sent out would be on port 4701.

He was informing me that most FTP servers have an option to send all data
out via port 20, or to send data out by this method of using high ports.  In
this case, Sambar Server does not have the function of being able to choose
which port the data should be sent out of.

Is this possibly something that could be worked on for the next release or
beta?  I don't know, it isn't a big deal, but I would like to block as many
ports as possible incoming and outgoing on my server, and right now I have a
large hole to allow for data to be sent.
