Dear FreeBSD people, May I ask you an question about our ftp server's connection problem.=20 We use Wu-2.6.1 as ftp server, which is running on Freebsd 4.3. The part of FTP setting (simple type) is like this in rc.firewall? =20 #Allow access to our FTP ${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${oip} 21 setup #for passive FTP. we also need to allow for setups #to ports in a high range (49152..65575), see ftpf(8) ${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to ${oip} 49152- setup This setting will allow ftp being accessed generally, but there is some = minor problem.=20 1. I found when I am not choosing the passive mode to connect to ftp = server from client side machine, the file transfer and conneciton is = going much faster and smoothly. 2. But when I choose passive mode (which is defaul setting for ws-ftp = Le), the transfer goes much slowers, and even you are connected to the = ftp server, for excute each ftp (ls, upload, download, etc) command, the = client side has to connect to a server's port (higher range one ) again, = which sometime succeed, some time fail, so takes much longer time than = the NON-passive mode way. I put a log file at attached for your = reference. Do you think the above situation is normal? In this case, the passive = mode seems not really good when considering the tranfer speed. So how = can we overcome the problem of EVERY TIME THE CLIENT SIDE HAS TO = CONNECT TO A SERVER'S HIGH RANGE PORT FOR EACH COMMAND WHEN IS PASSIVE = MODE?=20 Thank you very much Jennifer
