wuftp passive mode and ipchains


hello guys,
you're talking with a real linux n00b, and i hope you'll be patient with me
i've been fiddling around for about 4h now and i still have no idea how i get this §%§" passive mode with my ftpd 'wuftp' working. as soon as i turn of the firewall - ipchains - everythings working fine, but the problem begins when i turn it back on..
i've been lookin through the web for this problem, and i've seen many ipchains rules that should handle this problem, but none of them worked to me
the last one i tried:

Code:
-A output -i eth0 -p tcp -s 62.75.136.145 1024:65535 -d any/0 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
-A input -i eth0 -p tcp ! -y -s any/0 1024:65535 -d 62.75.136.145 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
i would be very happy if anybody of you could help me out of this problem by posting me the working ipchains rules
thanks in advance,
cheers
phil

First of all you should consider switching away from wu-ftpd to for instance vsftpd or proftpd.

Here you can specify a passive port range to use. For the firewall take a look at this website it shows you enough information required ... graphically shows you the stuff (a nice idea btw) :-)

Hmm, thanks Markus, but this doesnt really help me with my firewall problem..
The thing i'm lookin for is an ipchains rule that lets passive connections for the ftpd in.
Wuftp is working perfectly in passive mode when i shut down ipchains, as soon as i restart it i cant open any passive connections anymore
You got the problem?

Well you should have READ the document ... there is a part about your problem in it "Server Protected By A Firewall Problem":

"Required Rules for FTP"

Hey I think it will help me

I have a problem getting clients to go out to a server on the internet. I think that expanation on that page and the rules will work but now I have to try and figure out how to actually write the rules.

Any ideas?

paradoxlight, please write your rules and post them. *Then* ask a question.
