Re: Mac FTP/Firewall security question...

Would the FTP connection in passive mode work better? FTP has always seemed to me to be a little odd, and seemed a little touchy sometimes with firewalls that don't look at related connections. (I am not sure about the Mac firewall, but I do recall that iptables has a module specifically for FTP.) Don't know that that is much help, but hope it does, and good luck.

I'm already doing it in passive transfer mode, but that hasn't changed anything either. Thanks for the tip, though. My Website	[reply]

This is a pretty random guess, but the last time I had scripted FTP going through a firewall, I had to set it to use passive FTP, with a timeout of zero seconds. Somehow that fixed the problem. ($_='kkvvttuu bbooppuuiiffss qqffssmm iibbddllffss') =~y~b-v~a-z~s; print	[reply]
