FTP through NAT is major hackage, since both sides open ports and connect to the other host. If you were using a Linux 2.4 router, then it'd be as easy as 'modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp ip_nat_ftp', but I've never used one of these little 'SOHO broadband router' thingies. > What should my proftpd.conf look like: > > I have tried variations on the folowing in the proftpd.conf: > > # UseReverseDNS off > # IdentLookups off > # > # MasqueradeAddress both ftp.mydomain.net and http://www~ and > 00.000.00.00 the static IP Address used to connect to the Internet > # PassivePorts 60000 65535 This line looks interesting. I'd read up on this and see if it can be used to bypass NAT. -rob
