Recently set up a firewall using ipf and apparently ran into a problem with FTP sites. Received error, "No route to host" while fetching files located on ftp sites during portupgrade and also was unable to open the FreeBSD FTP Server (550 Could not accept passive data connection-timed out.) Had no problem once I disabled the firewall. I noticed there was a test utility called ipftest available but the man page didn't help me understand how it functions. Has anyone utilized this utility? Is there a site that is more informative than the man page? In the mean time, I do remember scanning an article on active FTP vs passive FTP which may be a good "next step" given the browser error message 550. Thanks, Bob Perry
