Hi,

I've done a search for this, it came back with some similar posts, but none of the suggestions so far have worked for me.

when connecting to the ftp server I get this:

230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||40422|)
then it just does nothing until the connection times out.

if I disable the firewall, I can ls perfectly well. (this only seems to be an issue on the external interface, on the internal one it works fine...)

so far I have tried opening whole port ranges in the firewall (not good, I know), but to no avail... (above was with TCP port range 1024:85000 open)

interestingley, I never had this sort of problem in suse9.

I really could do with a little help on this, as i'm slowly getting annoyed with the box...

thanks

Mat
