      When the sysem boot i see only this in the system log:

      May 23 14:46:15 pftpx[816]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8021
      May 23 14:46:15 pftpx[816]: listening on 127.0.0.1 port 8021

      How can i check if pftpx process is running?

      when i try to connect with both wan and lan Ftp helper enabled i get this

      May 23 14:48:15 pftpx[816]: #1 server timeout
      May 23 14:48:15 pftpx[816]: #1 server timeout

      and i can't connect!

      tried now ps -aux the only line with pftpx is

      proxy  816  0.0  0.2  656  492  ??  Ss    2:46PM  0:00.02 /usr/local/sbin/pftpx -c 8021 -g 8021 192.168.10.11

      Thanks

        I can add some info for this problem.

        My WAN is configured this way:

        IP 192.168.x.x GW 192.168.x.x Mask 255.255.255.0

        All my external IP are configured as Virtual IP ProxyARP.

        Maybe this configuration (wan with private IP and all pARP public IP) can "confuse" Ftp helper? maybe I need some special settings?

        Thanks in advance!

          Only if you are blocking private networks in Interfaces -> WAN.

            No, I'm not blocking private networks! (box is unchecked)

            I really can't understand what's wrong with my config!

            Thanks anyway!

              Also make sure you are not blocking bogons.
