[Xitami] FTP and FW-1

[Fabien Royer]

Greg,

Your data channel is never being established because FW-1 is not letting the 
FTP server through to connect back to your client.

You can usually get around this problem by using your FTP client in passive 
mode, where the client initiates both command and data channels with the FTP 
server. However, this is going to require Firewall-1 to be configured to let 
a range of ports open to the FTP server.

While this is not a problem with a NAT-ted setup, you may encounter 
"political" management resistance ;-)

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Fabien.
