Hey guys, as I mentioned before I wanted to set up a public FTP
server, and I ended up using vsftpd. However, my server is on my local
network, behind my modem NAT, and I use port forwarding to get in
ports 20 and 21. From outside my network, I can connect to it using
passive ftp, but not with active ftp. Is that good enough, or is it is
necessary to provide active ftp services as well? To be honest, I'm
not sure how to set that up -- presumably I would need to add an
additional range of ports in the port forwarding configuration, and
then configure vsftpd to use only those ports, right?
