Hi All,

I have a ftp server running on the box connected to the
internet with iptables. I would like to allow ftp passive
connections.I have done the following and it does not want
to work:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 21 -m state --state
ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -m state --state
NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 1024: -m
state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 1024: --dport 1024: -m
state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

I have done the following and it works but it is not
passive:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dport 20 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j
ACCEPT

What are the best rules to allow ftp passive connections?

I also did load ip_conntrack_ftp.

Thanks
Regards
