[Gllug] IPtables - outgoing ftp connections

[t.clarke]

Hi

I need to setup iptables to allow outgoing ftp connections to the outside world
from a specific box within the internal network.

iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.nnn -d 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 21
 -j ACCEPT

would seem to allow outgoing connections to the 'control port', but I am not
sure about outgoing data to the data port.

would:
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.nnn -d 0.0.0.0/0 --state RELATED
- j ACCEPT
work ?

I assume I also need to do:
/sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp   ??

Any advice gratefuly received

Tim
