That's probably due to the fact that there's a lot more people who need to access ftp servers elsewhere than people who need to run ftp servers. ftp-proxy has its reverse mode ( -R ) for that purpose. I'm not convinced it's possible to run the proxy in any useful way on the bridge itself, though. The proxy needs to bind to an interface with an IP address, which is sort of a scarce commodity on a transparent bridge. Then again, you can probably set up your ftp server to behave predictably (limit its port range) and craft a bridge rule set with just enough holes in it to let your traffic through. See eg http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ftp.html#server for a starting point. - P -- Peter N. M.
