Hi, Problem accesing FTP behind pfsense firewall
-
Yes , i will think about it. maybe you right.
Our company developing a desktop software for nursing homes , and long time care hospitals that one of it's features is to get lab results automaticaly .(u know like hemoglobin, rdw ,wbc, cholesterol …)
So the way we choose to perform this operation is to connect to the FTP via activeX and simply download the HL7 files (if u familiar with web services) that belongs to the hospital.Every hospital have a uniqe ID , so at the FTP server we created a folder tree , every folder is the uniqe id of each hospital.
thats why we choose to work with ftp , so every client after they connect to the server operate 3 simple commands:
CD <unique id)="" <br="">mget *.hl7
del *.hl7
(bye)i'm not sure i will succeed the same proccess with other protocol like http to control these commands.</unique>

Yeah, the FTP via ActiveX kind of hit me too. Ancient insecure Internet protocol combined with ancient insecure MS technology. And this is something you're developing new, or some old thing you are tasked with maintaining? Sending patient data over unencrypted links. Is that even HIPAA Title II-compliant?

The only thing missing in the nightmare mix is some nifty Flash management GUI… HIPAA or not -- but dude, you realize you are dealing with highly sensitive personal data?!? :o :o :o

OK , so i'm using this (very) weird thread to ask an "off-topic" question:
If i will install a simple pci wireless network adapter, will that linux machine become a wireless router ?
i mean , can i turn that new adapter into wlan interface?If that's not fit here, i can post a new thread but i think i wore you out anyway … (passive aggresive...)

Why would anyone in their right might do that?? When you can pick up a wireless router for say $20 and use it just as AP, or you could get a TRUE AP for less than <$100 for sure.. Shit for $149 you can get new unifi AC pro AP… Why would anyone stick a pci card in a pc and want to use that as a AP??? Why Why Why??
Oh prob the same people that think is ok to send personal information of their customers over a unencrypted ftp xfer ;)

The lite model is going to run for under $90...
