[linux] Re: [Wolves] Smoothwall and external ftp

[Matt Wright]

Hi,

Usually the FTP NAT module needs to be told about any ports other than port 21 
that needs to be watched for data connections. If you're using 2.4.x kernels 
then theres a module paramter that can be used to tell ip-nat-ftp which ports 
to watch. No idea if you're using 2.2.x.

Regards,

Matt
