Am I correct? > If so, is it only work for the stock freebsd ftp daemon? No, I don't think FTP uses this. FTP uses "high" port numbers, set by these sysctl values: net.inet.ip.portrange.hifirst: 49152 net.inet.ip.portrange.hilast: 65535 You can change these in /etc/sysctl.conf if you really want to, though I don't know if all FTP servers will take notice of them. The ip(4) manpage explains a bit about this. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
