    Hi,

    I'm trying to set up a server on my G4, OS X 10.2.6 and I'm having
    trouble doing so... :-(

    I'm using CrushFtp and sitting in a small network with a D-link router connecting us. So, I have problem when trying to connect to my server.
    If I look in CrushFtp everything seems ok and it says someone is
    connected, and I get a welcome message when using fetch:

    220-Welcome to CrushFTP!
    220 CrushFTP Server Ready.

    230-Valkommen till Per Kareheds ftp-server! (welcome to...)
    230 Password OK. Connected.

    But still, i don't get a listing of files in fetch and sometimes (not
    always) after a while Fetch says something like "are you behind a
    firewall bla bla bla.. use passive mode"

    I've opened port 21 in my firewall and tried connecting with both
    passive mode and non-passive. Also tried opening port 20, but with
    same result.

    If anybody has had the same problem and know what to do about it I
    would really be grateful for help.

    Thanks!

    You need to open SEVERAL ports on an FTP server. Generally speaking, on the server side, ports 20 and 21 and all ports greater than 1024 should be opened.
