Setting up FTP and FTP-bounce attack

Have a look here:  FTP Passive External XG115 SFOS 18.0.5 MR-5

Thanks for the suggestion but I have already tried the solution "set advanced-firewall ftpbounce-prevention data", as I sort of said in my original post.

I presume the point of this change is to prevent blocking the initial FTP port negotiation (control) messages (the default is "advanced-firewall ftpbounce-prevention control") but it doesn't seem to be working as it blocks the very first (control) response from the FTP server with the error "FTP-bounce attack".

Hi,

any News? I unfortunately have the same problem.

Hi,

please create a support case.

Did the support help you with this problem?

No

I suspect a bug in the software an I need to open a case but that usually involves investing a lot of my time and it isn't a high enough priority ATM.

We ran into the issue because we moved a printer to a different Zone and it uses FTP to send scans. Fortunately it can also send to mailboxes via SMTP so we are using that ATM. We generally try and avoid FTP because of firewalling issues and SFTP is a much better and more secure solution but this is a fairly old printer and doesn't support it.
