Hello All, I have a similar problem with passive ftp due to a self-imposed=20 restrictive firewall. When "make fetch" is run on a port and ftp data=20 is required, the PF firewall stops the program from completing. I got=20 around this problem by restarting the firewall with a separate set of=20 rules that opened up more ports needed for passive ftp. After the fetch=20 operation I would then restart PF with the more restrictive rules. This=20 sequence works but is a pain to maintain and also opens up a large=20 number of ports during ftp operations. I would like to have a setup in=20 which I do not have to restart my firewall every time I need to use=20 passive ftp. =46rom past experience setting MASTER_SORT to http works for those ports=20 that use http but obviously has not worked for those ports that ONLY use=20 ftp. I tried to use ftp-proxy but as far as I'm able to ascertain it will not=20 work on my simple home office setup. It is a single client connected to=20 the internet via a router: host <--> router <--> adsl modem <--> ISP. Any help to resolve this will be greatly appreciated. Cheers ...
