Secure FTP over SSL/TLS

bhall7
Prior to installing my ASG 7, I was able to make secure FTP connections using TLS/SSL over port 21 (AUTH TLS) using the FireFTP Firefox extension.  Now, however, I can only establish in-the-clear, vanilla FTP connections with no encryption over port 21.  I have added a rule to allow the FTP service (port 21) in the packet filter for Internal Network -> Any, and it will prompt for a password, but after that, it fails.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

    DUH!  I feel really really embarrassed!  The problem was that I somehow had the wrong IP address in the packet rule for the FTPS server.  [:$]

    Bottom line:  In order to get FTPS (secure FTP over SSL) to work, I had to create two packet filter rules (Network Security -> Packet filter)

    Internal Network -> Any (Service: FTP, port 21)

    and

    Internal Network -> Any (or the IP of the FTP server) (Service: FTPS data port range, 9000-9015, or whatever your server uses for its data ports).

    Thanks so much to everyone for the replies.

    Now, if I could only get my e-mail notifications to work... [:)]

    Glad to hear you got it worked out... I can't say something like this hasn't happened to me before, no need to be embarrassed (everybody's human, at least as far as I know)... at least you didn't take the tact that some folks do on the board sometimes that there's some defect in the software that's causing a problem, when it's just a config problem (not that we haven't discovered bugs here before, though).
