Well, keep in mind that "passive" FTP or Hylafax means that the client makes two connections to the host; "active" means that FTP or Hylafax connects back to the client for the second connection. In neither case can you simply open one port and expect things to work. ipfw isn't sophisticated enough to open the negotiated port, but in a FreeBSD environment, there are ways to make natd commute this to an open port. It's a little clumsy, but it works. Surely you did something similar to make passive FTP work? ____________________ HylaFAX(tm) Users Mailing List _______________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe, click http://lists.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi On UNIX: mail -s unsubscribe hylafax-users-request@xxxxxxxxxxx < /dev/null *To learn about commercial HylaFAX(tm) support, mail sales@xxxxxxxxx*
