Sorry i left out something about the following rule: > -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -o ppp0 --dport 20 -j ACCEPT > -A FORWARD -p tcp -i eth0 -o ppp0 --dport 21 -j ACCEPT > -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT When i set the rule i can connect to passive mode ftp servers but when it needs to list the contents of the ftp server it will list nothing or i will get disc from the ftp server.
