hello all...
i set up my machine with the second nic and enabled masq all works great except! internet users can no longer ftp. the external card should accept ftp connections and allow passiv ports... Its fine it it doesnt goto my lan (2nd card) but i would like to re enable the passive ftp function... i looked thro yast and see only a ref to allow tftpd on the external... i know there is something i have overlooked...... pop http https and everything else is working just fine.....
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. The Linux FTP client defaults to passive, but the Windows client is active mode only. If the firewall doesn't explicitly list FTP, you can always specify the port number.
yup i had someone try it from "the outside" with cute ftp it works fine... but my previously working unlimitedftp java script is what has quit....
