ISP doesn't allow FTP

ISP doesn't allow FTP

[Josh]

Hello fellow admins,

I am having a problem with my ISP at the firewall level, they are
blocking any type of FTP transfer.  However, I do have a shared webserver
that I can host proxy scripts on, just as long as I don't have to compile
them, I can only do a simple transfer.  Does anyon e know any tools that
may be of help, like proxy servers, tunneling tools, port mappers, etc. 
I have access to a different ISP for a few hours if I need to do a quick
upload to my webserver (My webserver is running RedHat 7 I believe).


Thanks

cipe is such a simple tunneling program/module pair and uses any udp port you 
desire

Hi

Depends on how they filter your FTP traffic. My guess is that they just
filter out port 21. In which case try to run a ftp server on a port
different than 21 (or if you cant admin the FTP server run a port
forwarder that knows to forward FTP traffic on another port to forward
traffic to the true FTP site, I think portfwd knows that, check on 
freshmeat.net).

Now if they filter it by looking into the traffic (string based, altghough 
that can be very resource consuming and risky business) then you need some 
encrypted tunnel. You might use SSH with portforwarding (btw you could use 
SCP to copy your files) or another encrypted tunneling like IPSEC, 
vtun (with kernel support).

Sorry for the off-topic post.

I never got the original message sent to the list. Only the reply.

I am very sure I am not getting all mail sent to the list... it isnt
just a "low volume" problem.

Anyone else having this problem?

Yes, I am having this problem too. However, it may be that the original
sender never "cc'ed" the message to this list.

Never mind, I just found the original message:

It's from the 27th of May, that's why I didn't have it anymore.
