in fact, "PASSIVE" is already activated. There is another way of
transferring the data: you can obviously try to use the hylafax -
internal ftp - programm (see doku of whfc). But that didnt work,
either.

alright, so what do I have to add to the putty settings.

It seems that its only working in my LAN, because ftp is allowed
there, too. Poorly, I only have a public IP on my 3rd box, so I can´t
configure putty properly. I have tried to configure a reversal setup
of putty, with opening a tunnel from the linux (hylafax) box to my win
- client, but that didn´t work either.

any ideas?
