I can act as an ftp client from the console OK, however when I try to ftp from a client PC to the server running ftpd (which is running ipfw) the ftp server receives the packet sent to port 21 and replies however it will not initiate a DATA connection back to the client from port 20. I had my client configured to use ACTIVE FTP. I have also tried PASSIVE without any difference. I do not have a firewall on the client and can successfully FTP to another FreeBSD box. None of the rules on my firewall that deny packets coming back from the ftp servers ipfw firewall are being hit. Does anyone have any ideas? Regards, J.S
