Environment


Novell BorderManager 3.8

Situation

Currently, ftp proxy only supports PASV mode. Ftp proxy

supports PORT mode between ftp client and FTP proxy but not between ftp proxy

and origin ftp server. If for any reason, a device/firewall in the path between

bm and origin ftp server is blocking PASV ftp, ftp server is unreachable thru

bm.

We should add the capability to the ftp proxy to connect in PORT mode to the

origin ftp server.

Resolution

Support for Active FTP mode has been implemented in Novell Bordermanager 3.9
