      Hi Guys,

      Just wondering why when I do a port scan on the WAN interface I see FTP(21) open.

      I am using "1.2 prerelease snapshot 04-23-07"

        You probably have the ftphelper enabled or are scanning from behind another pfSense with ftphelper enabled at LAN. As this is a proxy it wil redirect the traffic through it and cause a connect. This is normal and doesn't mean the other end actually has this port open.
