I think this what you might be looking for:  in the Dashboard, Look
under the Smart Defense tab, Network Security (expand this), and go to
Dynamic Ports ... you can then check the radio button to "Allow data
connections to all defined services ports"... this is for the old quirk
where if an FTP session happened to try to use a port that was defined
in the rulebase for any other purpose, FW1 would block it.  This is
finally handled in the FW1 management GUI, rather than editing files.

HTH.

Hi all.

My questions is this.  I have Checkpoint R54 installed on a IP330.  My rules
allow incoming and outgoing ftp's.  When I am using a web browser and I try
to download a file from a remote site.  The ftp request goes out on a port
other than 21.  It goes out on higher ports.  Thus, Checkpoint drops the
request, because it isn't in the rules.  How can I get checkpoint to allow
these connections, without having to add different ports from everywhere.  I
don't want to open all ports.  Any help is appreciated.  I'm guessing it's a
Smart Defense thing, but am not sure.
