Subject:   Configure bridging firewall for FTP
Message-ID:  <3D027B30.20018.6687652@localhost>

I have a machine set up as a bridging firewall. It exists between my 
DSL and my LAN. I'd like to be able to set it up to allow FTP, but 
I'm not sanguine about the idea of a rule like:

ipfw add allow tcp any 20 1024-32768 to myhost

Which basically gives any system the ability to get past my firewall 
as long as their source port is 20. I would think there's a better 
way to do it, aside from using PASV mode for all transfers, but I'm 
not sure what it is.

Thanks for any responses,

Corey
