[MLB-WIRELESS] OT ftp behind a firewall

[Matthew Hill]

Gudday

Think ive worked out the problem.

It might appear its on the server sidee, not mine :(

i can ftp to yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au for example and get no errors.

time to email the server hosting my domain.

Thanks guys, one and all

Matthew

  Hmm, you get that error when using active mode behind a NAT router (which a 
  Linux box doing IP masq is).  You have two choices:

  1.  Use passive mode on your FTP client.

  2.  Load the ip_masq_ftp module on the IP masq gateway box.  This module 
  fudges the port commands so active FTP works.  If you're FTPing to a non 
  standard port, you may need to specify that port in the options for the 
  module in /etc/modules.conf (read the docs :) ).
