Hi,

I set up the firewall on an old linux(7.1) server using ipchains which allows ftp within our network. After the firewall up, some users in the office who using Bbedit on Macintosh complained that they cannot ftp to the server any more although there is no problem to use other ftp programs.

My final solution is to trust the ips from those users using BBedit and accept all from them. However, I thought this is not the best and secure solution. Just wondering whether anybody on the list can help me figure out the better solution.

Thanks!

I think your problem is that they are (or are not, I don't remember which right now) using passive mode for ftp by default. They need to switch whichever they are using. That should solve the problem.
