Perhaps this has been discussed before, but I haven't seen it.  Complicating locating those threads are a number of other unrelated issues with similar terms.


I have a small number of public IPs, on my LAN I have a server (FreeBSD 7.2).   From that server I occasionally need to pull down files from FTP servers with the fetch command.  By default, fetch does not use FTP passive mode.  For root-ly activities the env variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is not set.

How can I set my firewall so FTP transfers can be in native (not passive) mode from the server?

I have successfully configured m0n0wall so that traffic (SSH) can go into and out of the server from the public Internet.

Thanks!
