Passive FTP
My iptables policies are DROP and I just allow the ports I need to use. I can't, however, do passive ftp transfers. Does anyone know whether this uses a different port/protocol than ftp?

with me its the other way around.. i can only do passive FTP connections.

run these commands to load the IPtables FTP modules and give it another go:
Code:
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_nat_ftp
