Seems to me like you're running an http/https/ftp server behind NAT, and you want to make it visible to the outside, correct? http/https are not a problem in this scenario. ftp on the other hand... well, for a "dumb" NAT-ing firewall, if the data port is not set to 20 during the session, your forwarding rules will not apply. But Linux is not dumb, iptables knows the FTP protocol and it can do smart things. Make sure you're loading the ip_nat* and ip_conntrack* modules on the firewall. I believe it's enough to load them and only forward the command channel (port 21); the purpose of the ip_nat_ftp module is to figure out the parameters for the data channel and mangle the packets on the fly. Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and add: IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_nat_ftp" Or (less elegantly) "modprobe ip_nat_ftp" in rc.local That should be enough. Or so i hope. If that doesn't help, have a look at Pure-FTPd, it has config options for exactly this scenario. More specifically, you can try -P to specify the public IP address (your ftp server has no clue what's the public IP address, hence it doesn't know what address to return in passive mode). Or use -N to force active mode. http://www.pureftpd.org/ On Mon, 2004-06-28 at 23:38, Marius Andreiana wrote: > Ola > > I'm trying to setup port forwarding for ftp and scp (ssh) from internet > to an
