Passive FTP Problem in NAT.

Hi.

Could someone help me or give me advice regarding NAT on a FTP server located in my DMZ.

This is my setup :

My Firewall(Linux 2.4.22-1) :
|
- eth0 = Public Interface (x.x.x.66 / 26 )
|
- eth1 = DMZ Interface (172.16.100.254 / 24 )
|
- eth2 = My Internal Network ( 192.168.1.1 / 24 )


I have a FTP server located on my DMZ Network. The server is listening on a “non-standard” ftp port. It listens on port : 2121.

To generate my firewall config I use FwBuilder. I’ve tried many configurations but, I never get the data port to open( e.g. to list a directory)

In my configuration I’ve allowed, and NAT’ed the following services to my FTP server located on the DMZ  :

FTP 		= 	TCP Destination Port : Start : 2121 – End : 2121
FTP_DATA	=	TCP Source Port : Start : 20 – End : 20
			        Destination : Start : 1024 – End : 65535

I can connect, but cannot list the directories.

p.s. I’m running Proftpd on my FTP server. I have also tried to configure the “PassivePorts= 60000 65534” to configure a group of the passive ports.
But it’s the same issue with the directory listening.

Any help would be much appreciated.


Best regards to all,
