no connection to data-channel
by Tobias Gasser 01 Aug '00

Hello, i'm trying to set up a suse-firewal with the ftp-proxy on it (or on the ftp-server behind) to be able to limit the open ports via the Min/MaxPort settings to a range of 50. I'm running proftp as ftp-server. Now my problem is this: the login into the server works just fine. I can even do 'cd's an 'rm's, but as soon as i do a 'ls' or things that need to have a data channel opened i get no connection to it. So i tried - to exclude the possibility that the firewall is blocking something - to do a local connect to the proxy. But the thing didn't work either. Any suggestions ? Thank you for your help !

Problems with Name-Resolution
by Hans Mehl 28 Jul '00

28 Jul '00

Hi, I have a problem with the name-resolution if I use a MagicUser (e. g. anonymous(a)ftp.suse.com): For example: # ftp ftp-proxy 3121 Connected to ftp-proxy.grundig.de. 220 ftp-proxy FTP server (Version 1.7 - 1999/10/22 09:22:47) ready. Name (ftp-proxy:mehl): anonymous(a)ftp.suse.com 501 Invalid destination in user name. Login failed. ftp> but no problem with IP-addresses, for example: # ftp ftp-proxy 3121 Connected to ftp-proxy.grundig.de. 220 ftp-proxy FTP server (Version 1.7 - 1999/10/22 09:22:47) ready. Name (ftp-proxy:mehl): anonymous(a)209.144.167.150 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password. Password: 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Remote system type is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. ftp> I am working with Linux 6.3. There is no problem with nslookup and so on. I spent a lot of time to solve this problem for my self but I could not find the solution.

ForkLimits?
by Lukas Zapletal 24 Jul '00

24 Jul '00

Sometimes ftp-proxy (transparent version) logs me off the server. In the log i have found several messages: ftp-proxy [17506] <07/21-12:23:16> USER-ERR reject: '172.20.1.206' (ForkLimit 40) What it means? I didn`t set any limit and user from 206 was only scanning ports on our sever... lzap

Hello, When i configure CuteFtp or wsftp or ... to connect using the ftp-proxy (using port 21), ftp client send success in connecting to the firewall, send the "USER ***" command, and then nothing: it simply lay like that...nothing happends... (The proxy is a NATed machine, is has an internal and external IP.....) So i tried a direct connect to the proxy, like if it were a ftp server: on the proxy machine (named proxy) i typed: proxy:/usr/local/proxy-suite/sbin# ftp proxy 21 Connected to proxy.** 220 proxy FTP server (Version 1.7 - 1999/10/22 09:22:47) ready. Name (proxy:root): anonymous 421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection Login failed. No control connection for command: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type ftp> So, what must i do? Another question: is ftp-proxy is a ftp cache? where can i configure the cache path? Thanks a lot.

ftp vs. ftp-proxy
by Thomas.Hansen.tmh./CPH＠manbw.dk 07 Jul '00

07 Jul '00

Hi All, As a newbie I have installed proxy-suite on a Redhat Linux 6.1 - no problem. I have configured the service for outbound ftp-proxy, well that was what I needed a solution for. I have tested the solution with a windows tool called WS_FTP PRO, and it works fine, when you set it up to go trough a "firewall", ie. a proxy. Now my question: How can I use the ftp-proxy from a standard ftp client, ie. the one in unix? I cannot see how my ftp can connect to a port 8080, and then type in ex: USER anonymous(a)ftp.ftp.com Please help Best regards Thomas Hansen My conf file: [-Global-] AllowMagicUser Yes DestinationAddress localhost DestinationTransferMode client LogDestination /var/log/ftp-proxy.log MaxClients 64 Port 8080 WelcomeMessage /usr/local/proxy-suite/etc/ftp-welcome.txt
