[SLUG] FTP / Masquerading


Hi all,

I've been using ipchains both as a firewall and masquerader for other machines on my network.

It all works fine except for FTP, which I must run in passive mode (pftp) so that the client is doing all port opens. Are there any problems using a normal active ftp over a masquerading connection ? (Normal active ftp works only on the machine running ipchains which is the machine that the physical link is connected to)

Thanks,

Andrew E.
