The reference to the PORT command may be tellling. FIrewalls in general
have problems with ACTIVE FTP and the use of the PORT command is an
indication that your are in ACTIVE mode. On the Mac, you can simply
enter the command:

passive

to change modes and avoid a wide variety of problems surrounding active
ftp. On windows, it gets a little more tricky as the command line ftp
client on windows does not support passive mode (they never updated
it). You can, however, use IE by setting it to use passive mode as
using it to access the ftp site. You can set it to passive by accessint
the TOOLS menu and selecting Internet options, then Advanced and
scrolling down to "use passive ftp".

We have an outstanding trouble ticket with our support vendor that has
been escalated to Checkpoint regarding active ftp -the closest thing we
have gotten to an answer is that it may be addressed (note they don't
say fixed) in fp4.

Any Idea/solution ?

Objet : [FW-1] Ftp from a MAC client


I have an external Mac user trying to access an ftp server, but he's
not
able to do anything. We're not using the ftp security server, but it
SmartDefense is triggering. Both the client and the server are behind
natted
gateways. Can anyone explain what's happening? I'm a bit sceptical on
disabling "FTP Bounce" in SmartDefense.

Attack Info: ftp address mismatch: ip_src != command_src
