Nothing special. Inbound access from the Internet to the server on TCP =
21 in addition to the full range of ports specified by the pasv_min_port =
and pasv_max_port in the vsftpd.conf. The host is also running a =
host-based firewall (pf). Here's the pf.conf line that applies:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from any to <internal-server-IP> port =
{ 21, <pasv_min_port>:<pasv_max_port> } keep state
