FTP Client Proxy / passive FTP

[delumax]

Hi,

we have installed the FTP Client Proxy package, to get active ftp working. But with the running service passive ftp is broken. Why? Any additional steps or firewall rules?

Thx!

Ok, I dump some of the traffic and think I find the problem:

Client 1.1.1.1
Server 2.2.2.2

Here is the dump for a listing in passive mode:

The client initiates the connection from port 34966 to 58523\. But the answer come from port 38538 and not port 58523\. So the client send a RST and retransmit..

A bug in the package? Any ideas? We really need a working ftp helper implementation for our customers :-/
