Fixing broken FTP in Safari Beta 2
Just a clarification of what Passive Mode exactly is:
Fixing broken FTP in Safari Beta 2
I am behind a symantec 200r firewall (Nexland OEM) and cannot connect to any NT FTP servers at all, whether passive is checked or not. Actually, I can connect, but cannot do anything else - dir or "get" just hangs. I have a feeling the NT Server is passing back the port number to use in a packet and OSX can't track the packet properly behind the NAT - anyone else having this problem? All the windows and linux machines behind the firewall connect and work just fine, BTW.

Have you guys reported all this to Apple via the Safari bug reporting thingie?

Actually that's a little misleading. The control port isn't usually a big deal, unless the nonstandard port is blocked on the client's firewall.

Hmmmmm. I wonder where the problem is, then. If I start a command line ftp from windoze and connect to an ACTIVE server (which I think NT ftp servers are), everything works behind the firewall. I I do the same thing from linux, everything works fine. If I connect from OS/9, everythinf works fine. If I connect from OSX, it connects, but nothing works (just hangs). If the firewall isn't translating the packets properly, why does ftp work from all the other clients?

I also have the FTP problem with Safari -- no FTP with Safari and sometimes an FTP attempt crashes Safari if I try. Passive or not, Safari still doesn't work. |
