      Im having trouble restricting outgoing FTP.

      I have 2 subnets - one I would like to restrict FTP to several servers only.

      I can do this by disabling the firewall helper - but then connection works but cant go any further.

      It works with the FTP Helper enabled but then I have no control over FTP - all firewall rules concerning FTP traffic are ignored!

      Any help much appreciated…..

        I have the same problem here and found the reason in the code
        /etc/inc/filter.inc line 907 shows

        $natrules .= "rdr on $tmp_interface proto tcp from any to any port 21 -> 127.0.0.1 port {$tmp_port}\n";

        So all traffic to port 21 is redirected to the FTP helper. No chance to configure FTP for different networks.
        Not that amazing for a firewall.
        :(

        Any expert with a workaround here?
