<para>FTP transfers involve two TCP connections. The first <emphasis

|
role="bold">control</emphasis> connection goes from the FTP client to port
|
|
21 on the FTP server. This connection is used for logon and to send
|
|
commands and responses between the endpoints. Data transfers (including
|
|
the output of <quote>ls</quote> and <quote>dir</quote> commands) requires
|
|
a second data connection. The <emphasis role="bold">data</emphasis>
|
|
connection is dependent on the <emphasis role="bold">mode</emphasis> that
|
|
the client is operating in:</para>

<title>Linux FTP connection-tracking</title>
|

|
|
<para>Given the normal loc->net policy of ACCEPT, passive mode access
|
|
from local clients to remote servers will always work but active mode
|
|
requires the firewall to dynamically open a <quote>hole</quote> for the
|
|
server's connection back to the client. Similarly, if you are running an
|
|
FTP server in your local zone then active mode should always work but
|
|
passive mode requires the firewall to dynamically open a
|
|
<quote>hole</quote> for the client's second connection to the server. This
|
|
is the role of FTP connection-tracking support in the Linux kernel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Where any form of NAT (SNAT, DNAT, Masquerading) on your firewall is
|
|
involved, the PORT commands and PASV responses may also need to be
|
|
modified by the firewall. This is the job of the FTP nat support kernel
|
|
function.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Including FTP connection-tracking and NAT support normally means
|
|
that the modules <quote>ip_conntrack_ftp</quote> and
|
|
<quote>ip_nat_ftp</quote> need to be loaded. Shorewall automatically loads
|
|
these <quote>helper</quote> modules from
|
|
/lib/modules/<<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>>/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
|
|
and you can determine if they are loaded using the <quote>lsmod</quote>

command. The <<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>> may be obtained

<para>Note: If you are running kernel 3.6.20 or later, then the module

names are <emphasis role="bold">nf_nat_ftp</emphasis> and <emphasis

|
|
from

|
/lib/modules/<<emphasis>kernel-version</emphasis>>/kernel/net/netfilter/.

Shorewall version 3.2.10 or later is required if you wish these modules

responses. If you run an FTP server on a nonstandard port or you need to

access such a server, you must therefore let the helpers know by

specifying the port in /etc/shorewall/modules entries for the helpers.
