[WS_FTP Forum] Configuring FTP Server

[Dave Caudle]

I’ve been trying to configure WS_FTP Server.  The server PC is behind a Cisco PIX firewall and SSL is required because of the nature of the data being transmitted.  Ipswitch support tells me that FTP Server and FTP Pro client will not work together when both are behind NAT firewalls and are both performing SSL encryption because of the way that the port information gets encrypted.  This was confirmed by a Knowledge Base article I read on Ipswitch’s website.  Since the client PC’s that will connect to my FTP server will most likely all be behind firewalls I need a work around for this.   Can anyone advise me on the best way to configure the server PC so that it is not behind the NAT firewall but is still secure?   Dave Caudle 704 / 723-4252 (Phone) 704 / 723-4214 (Fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
