You are using "active" ftp. To solve this, set your ftp client to use
"passive" ftp. For more information and a better explanation than I will
be able to dream up:

Subject: FTP Outgoing - random port incoming
Hi All,
�
Does anybody knows why when I try to FTP anywere, loggin on my FW, I saw
a packet coming from port 20 (remote) to a randon port on my FW....
�
But there is anything very strange occurring.....I can authenticate on
FTP Server....but when I try to get a list (ls or dir or something
else.....) simply the server give me a packet on a random port....so my
FW blocks!!!
�
Is it right or not? If right, what I have to do on my fw to permit this
packet traffic?
�
Thanx,
�
