Hi, I am trying to setup an FTP server on a machine thats running natd and ipfw but am having trouble servicing passive mode FTP clients. Because with PASV mode the FTP server is supposed bind/listen on an arbitrary port, return that port number to the client, and await the client's connection inbound... and my packet filter is not in the loop... the machine won't let the FTP client connect. So the passive mode clients just hang... active mode clients work fine. Short of hacking the FTP server code (to have it adjust the packet filter dynamically or to make it use only ports in a specific range for passive mode listening) is there any way to accomplish this?
