Masquerading additional FTP ports

seb
My remote banking program uses very weird ports for FTP communication: 41&42 and 62&63.

Currently I use Masquerading to hide my local network behind the Firewall's external IP-address. My program doesnt work with this setup. Can I do something like:

insmod ipt_masq_ftp ports=21,41,42,62,63?

Or rather use SNAT?

Im just guessing here. Im not a Linux expert  [:)]

    A banking program that uses FTP !!?? Really ?  

    well if yes, it depends on if it uses active or passive transfers. If the server is behind a firewall too, passive mode will be hosed. Active mode will not work correctly.

    Best thing would be to use the SOCKS proxy, if the application supports it, or use SOCKSCap (www.socks.nec.com).

    Yes the program sucks. In more ways then one. 

    And no it doesn't support socks. But thanks for the Sockscap tip. I actually have it installed on my machine but completly forgot about the socks proxy.  [:)]t out.
