Passive FTP should work through NAT and active mode normally doesn't. Give it a try with a browser or an FTP client that can use passive mode. That's interesting. I seem to have just the opposite experience. I have to select active mode to get it to work. I am not sure though that I am doing what the original poster is doing. Are you trying to FTP in from the outside or out from the inside?

I haven't seen the beginning of this. Is this a system acting as a router i.e. 2 nics? If so are the correct netfilter modules in place? ip_conntrack_ftp ip_nat_ftp -- Dave Cotton
