Passive FTP NAT

DMR188

Has anyone successfully setup an FTP server and been able to connect to it over the WAN?  I have tried every setting under the sun with no luck.  It will connect fine if I use Active Mode, so I know the NAT is working, but not with Passive.  I've tried removing IPS polices, changing the MASQ to off, etc, etc.  And unfortunately with the lack of logging, I can't determine why its not connecting. Please let me know if anyone has found any tricks.

Thanks

    As a former Cyberoam user I've learned some tricks that might apply here. I was running an FTP server on my LAN and couldn't access it, even with al the right port forwarding statements.

    I logged a case with Cyberoam and this resulted in two console statements to get it working

    1) Since I was using port 2121 as a public port (and private port as well): set service-param FTP add port 2121

    2) And this setting was advised to change the FTP scanning behaviour: set advanced-firewall ftpbounce-prevention data
    Both commands have to be applied in the service console.

    Since switching from Cyberoam to SophosXG I had to apply the same commands to SophosXG ;-)

    Hope this helps!

    Johan,

    both commands can be execute on XG either. Access the console using Putty or Console option fromthe WebAdmin page and execute both commands. The syntax is the same.
