Subject: RE: [SLE] ftp through router problem...




I do not think you have to allow port 20 if you are using NAT. Is this a
true router or a PC acting as a router? If it is a true router, post your
config, if you don't mind, or send privately and I can see if I can help. I
have ran into this problem a lot in the past. My roomate is a Cisco guy and
can surely help.
