Hi Camiel, Thanks for your answer. I've also tried other ftp sites (for instance ftp.openbsd.org).
I've started ftp-proxy like this: sudo /usr/sbin/ftp-proxy -d -D7 -r Then I connected to ftp.openbsd.org using anonymous account and Active mode listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8021 #1 accepted connection from 192.168.1.56 #1 FTP session 1/100 started: client 192.168.1.56 to server 129.128.5.191 via proxy 193.172.163.50 #1 server: 220-\r\n #1 server: 220- Welcome to SunSITE Alberta\r\n #1 server: 220-\r\n #1 server: 220- at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada\r\n #1 server: 220-\r\n #1 server: 220-All connections to and transfers from this server are logged.

After closing the session I get: #1 server: 425 Timeout establishing data connection - Broke your packet filters again eh?\r\n #1 client: QUIT\r\n #1 server: 221 Goodbye.\r\n #1 client close #1 ending session I also put the anchors before any other ruling. No luck though. My PF log isn't showing anything useful regarding ftp. I just installed a new openbsd 4.0 system and it has the same problem. I install everything from CD After halting and rebooting: Create a user account with sudo privileges Edit rc.conf to enable pf and enable ftp-proxy with -r option Then modify the example pf.conf file, so that it fits my interfaces Uncomment net.inet.ip.forwarding into=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf Reboot my system Now, in my book I should have a working system with active ftp support. But I don't. Am I missing something?

(the nat and rdr anchor first in the nat section; the normal anchor first in the filter rule section). Crank up the logging like this: ftp-proxy -d -D7 -r Watch your pf logging as well. Doesn't the bank app. (ABN AMRO?) use a weird port like 40 or 41 or so? On Fri, 16 Feb 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm about to turn nuts over ftp-proxy.
