Hello
I want to download via ftp, but am unable to do so. I believe that it
would have something to do with my pf.conf file in my firewall, so have
listed that below.
<snip>
The installation was from the 3.6 CD set and barebones to be a headless
firewall. I don't recall if I enabled a ftp-proxy to be installed at
that time. I'm not even sure whether I enabled if the ports system was
installed. I regret to say that I never kept notes and because it has
been such an absolute workhorse reliable 24/7 for the last years, I have
largely forgotten all about it. So, how do I confirm that I have the
ftp-proxy already installed? I'm used to Debian on a daily basis, so is
the OBSD way to check for an installed app to run, as root (or sudo):
pkg-src ftp-proxy
From the documentation you helpfully pointed me to, it seems that what
I am looking at changing in the firewall settings to enable me to
download from ftp sites is to:
1. set up a ftp proxy on the firewall
2. add the lines to the NAT section (suggested on the FTP page you
sign-posted)
3. anchor it in the rules section of pf.conf (as from the same source as #2)
& I note that this can be done on the fly so that I need not reboot.
Nice :-)
Thanks a lot. I'll give it a go.
