FTP Service – Passive (PASV) mode

[fcote]

Someone can tell me why the passive mode don’t work on Mac OS X Server? I tried many things but nothing work. The only thing I see is the Firewall DENY the connection and this random ports. You know, I can’t open all ports for this to work, this is not logical. I have no problem with the PORT mode with the “FTP File Service” checked in the General tab of Firewall.

I hope someone willl be able to tell me how I fix this problem.

for panther server add:

passive ports 51000 51999

in /library/FTPServer/Configuration/ftpaccess

then open up the portrange in the firewall.

Agh! forgot to check text mode. That should read:

passive ports <server-ip> 51000 51999

or any portrange you wish to use…
