Hi, how can I enable ftp protocol for my lan's clients to use it with an external ftp server?With my actual configuration I can reach the server and I pass the autentication, but all pc in my lan hang when opening data connection for example sendingthe "ls" command through the command prompt.The rules of the checkpoint policy editor are like this:
source : an internal ip address (hiding nat)
destination: any
service: ftp
action: accept
track: blank
install on: nokiaip51
time: any
I've already enabled both "ftp port" and "ftp pasv" data connection in the user interface.All other services works fine, and so, in my opinion it's not a nat problem.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance

If you're using ICS, then from memory there is a "services offered" option in the configuration.
FTP is one of those.

I wouldn't have expected it to make that initial connection without it but I have this funny feeling that that connection is made on a different port ummm... 25?

Anyway - its something else to have a look at...

Cheers,
Tim.

Yes, but the ICS machine has further configuration options. Its in the network settings I think. I'm not in a position to get you an exact path to it but...

There are options to add specific services to the share. One of these is FTP.

Having made this comment, however, I use ICS and never had to set that up. My ICS server machine seems to pass all the traffic (FTP or whatever) through regardless.

Cheers,
Tim.

ps. I asking this as you said you're using NAT - I assume from that you have an ICS machine somewhere...?

What service pack are you running on this thing? There are ftp fixes for problems with these symptoms, but they are service pack specific.

Thanks,
