Hi.
I have problems getting passive FTP working.
My setup is like this:

Internet --> Router(public IP) -->  FTP-Server (192.168.177.22/32)

I have these rules set up in my firewall:
(ens3 is the interface facing the public internet,
br0 is the internal network interface)

*filter
-A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Since kernel 4.7 the default handling of helpers have changed (from
implicit use to explicit declaration of use). Take a look there:

https://home.regit.org/netfilter-en/secure-use-of-helpers/

especially https://home.regit.org/netfilter-en/secure-use-of-helpers/#disable-helper-by-default
which is now default.


I am on ubuntu 18.04 lts and have loaded, which are said to fix passive ftp issues:
ip_conntrack_ftp
ip_nat_ftp
in /etc/modules

Wondering, why this output is there in lsmod
(ip_*_ftp is named nf_*_ftp):
root@fw:~# lsmod | grep ftp
nf_nat_ftp             16384  0
nf_nat                 32768  3 nf_nat_ftp,nf_nat_ipv4,xt_nat
nf_conntrack_ftp       20480  1 nf_nat_ftp
nf_conntrack          131072  7 xt_conntrack,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_nat,nf_nat_ftp,nf_nat_ipv4,xt_nat,nf_conntrack_ftp


For a long time ip_{nat,conntrack}* modules are named nf_{nat,conntrack}*
instead, with an alias for backward compatibility (it worked here). You
should use nf_* everywhere. Prbably the main reason is they can also
handle IPv6.


Thanks,
Stefanie
