      I've two FTP servers and I NAT from the WAN the first on the LAN IP's (IPWAN01 to IPLAN01 and IPWAN02 to IPLAN02) and it work correctly I can access on my servers for the both external IPs. After I add some other rules for differents services for services I have on the lan network and the FTP work only on one server not on both (exemple from IPWAN01 but not from IPWAN02). To solve this problem I need to remove the both NAT and RULES for FTP on the firewall and add again and it work correctly.
      I run on the last version of pfsense : 1.0.1

      Any idea?

          FTP does not work with mulitple WANS.  And you want the helper ON, not off.

            if "grep..." msgs exist, ftp's not accessed.

            after add new nat/pfw with ftp(port21) and saved auto created rules.

            new startup msgs:
            ..

            212.175.221.61(ftp1-wanip) and 212.175.221.62(ftp2 wanip) accessed, but 212.175.221.63(ftp3-wanip) not accessed.

            REALLY!

            and

            Disable the userland FTP-Proxy application  (Ftp helper off)

            or
            Disable the userland FTP-Proxy application  (ftp helper on)

            this true?

              If you want to make it work without the ftp helper create forward for reach public IP to the correct ftp server (port 21 AND the range that the ftp server uses for passive mode). Additionally you have to make the ftpservers aware of their real public IP (check your ftpserver's manuals if it has a technique to detect it).

                  solution:

                  delete all nat and ftp rules (ftp related)

                  reboot

                  add one first ftp nat, save auto created rules and apply

                  reboot

                  add one second ftp nat, save auto created rules and apply

                  don't reboot

                  different 2 ext. and 2 int. fpt server accessed.
