      I know this is going to sound bad, but at the moment I really don't know.

      I'll have to put some thought into how to work around this issue.

      In the meantime, I wouldn't balance ftp, simply add a rule before your balancing rule and force it out your primary pipe.

          Proto              Source  Port  Destination  Port  Gateway  Description
          TCP/UDP  LAN net      *  *        20 - 21      *                FTP

          If i put this rules before my loadbalancing rules in LAN , it doesn't work.
          I need to completly disable loadbalancing for it to work with IE in passive mode.

          If i disable outbound loadbalancing and permit any any on the wan interface it work with IE and ftp.exe!

          What would be the rule to create in LAN to make it work with FTP.

          State log:
          tcp  127.0.0.1:8021 <- 142.217.134.xxx:21 <- 10.0.3.3:3677  CLOSED:SYN_SENT

            Just found a workaround for this. not very secure…

            Add this firewall rule in LAN
            Proto  Source  Port  Destination  Port  Gateway
            *        LAN net  *  127.0.0.1  *  *

            Add this firewall rule in WAN
            Proto  Source  Port  Destination  Port  Gateway
            *                *        *  *      *  *

            It works.
            Firewall state shows:
            tcp  127.0.0.1:8021 <- 194.71.11.70:21 <- 10.0.3.3:3887  FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2
            tcp 127.0.0.1:8021 <- 194.71.11.70:21 <- 10.0.3.3:3896 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2
            tcp 194.71.11.70:20 -> 194.71.11.70:65294 -> 10.0.3.3:3898 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2
            tcp 127.0.0.1:8021 <- 194.71.11.70:21 <- 10.0.3.3:3899 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED
            tcp 194.71.11.70:20 -> 194.71.11.70:62700 -> 10.0.3.3:3903 FIN_WAIT_2:FIN_WAIT_2

            Without permit any any on WAN I have this in my state
            tcp 127.0.0.1:8021 <- 194.71.11.70:21 <- 10.0.3.3:3871 ESTABLISHED:ESTABLISHED

            And I have this error with ftp.exe
            200 PORT command successful
            425 Could not open data connection to port 58974: Connection timed out

              The LAN->Localhost rule is fine.

              I would remove that WAN rule ASAP.  Because if you permit all traffic from the internet in, then what is the point of having a firewall at all?

                If I remove the permit any any rule on WAN I can't connect using active ftp mode (ftp.exe)

                  Then you don't have a firewall!  You're allowing all of the internet into you're device.

                    My question is What is the rule I should put to make active FTP working.

                      As I told you before I need to figure out how to make this work.  It currently will not work w/ Outgoing LB.

                        problem with outgoing ftp. ftp proxy is enabled on wireless. and nothing else it is working
                        sometimes but is very slow and seems to stop working after about 15 minutes.

                        still am a bit uncertian as to where to start lookking in respect to this.

                        additionally pppoe clients seem to also have trouble with ftp as well.
