Thus the end user gets a connection attempt from an arbitrary port on the masqing firewall instead of port 20. What is even more interesting is that if I attempt a connection to the ftp server using a web browser (Passive mode), the ftp server sends an IP address and a port for the web browser to connect to. This is sent as data in a masq'ed packet to the users web browser. The web browser reads that data and tries to connect using the ip address and port given by the ftp server. The only problem is that the ftp server reports its own ip address (192.168.x.x) which is a private address and not routable on the internet. The browser then tries connecting to that IP address and times out. So, I know the problem (unless I have missed something). What I need is a solution. What are my options for having a masq'ed ftp server? Or do I need to put the box on a live segment? There have to be solutions for putting ftp servers behind linux firewalls. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions. Thanks, Sean Brown System Admin Applied Geographics, Inc.
