|

<p>FTP transfers involve two TCP connections. The first <u>control</u>
|
||||
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 "ls" and "dir"
|
||||
commands) requires a second <u>data</u> connection. The data
|
||||
connection is dependent on the <u>mode</u>
|
||||
that the client is operating in:<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Passive Mode (often the default for web browsers) -- The client
|
||||
issues a
|
||||
PASV command. Upon receipt of this command, the server listens on a
|
||||
dynamically-allocated port then sends a PASV reply to the client. The
|
||||
PASV reply gives the IP address
|
||||
and port number that the server is listening on. The client then opens
|
||||
a
|
||||
second connection to that IP address and port number.</li>
|
||||
<li>Active Mode (often the default for line-mode clients) -- The
|
||||
client listens on a dynamically-allocated port then sends a PORT
|
||||
command to the server. The PORT command gives the IP address and port
|
||||
number that the client is listening on. The server then opens a
|
||||
connection to that IP address and port number; the <u>source port</u>
|
||||
for this connection is 20 (ftp-data in /etc/services).</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
You can see these commands in action using your linux ftp command-line
|
||||
client in debugging mode. Note that my ftp client defaults to passive
|
||||
mode and that I can toggle between passive and active mode by issuing a
|
||||
"passive" command:<br>

|

Things to notice:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The commands that I issued are in <b><font color="#009900">green.</font></b><br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Commands sent by the client to the server are preceded by <b>---></b></li>
|
||||
<li>Command responses from the server over the control connection are
|
||||
numbered.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>FTP uses a comma as a separator between the bytes of the IP
|
||||
address; and</li>
|
||||
<li>When sending a port number, FTP sends the MSB then the LSB and
|
||||
separates the two bytes by a comma. As shown in the PORT command, port
|
||||
142,58 translates
|
||||
to 142*256+58 = 36410.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
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 "hole" 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 "hole" for the client's second
|
||||
connection to the server. This is the role of FTP connection-tracking
|
||||
support in the Linux kernel.
|
||||
<div align="left"><br>
|
||||
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.<br>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>Including FTP connection-tracking and NAT support normally means
|
||||
that the
|
||||
modules "ip_conntrack_ftp" and "ip_nat_ftp" need to be loaded.
|
||||
Shorewall automatically
|
||||
loads these "helper" modules from /lib/modules/<<i>kernel-version></i>/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/
|
||||
and you can determine if they are loaded using the 'lsmod' command. The
|
||||
<<span style="font-style: italic;">kernel-version</span>> may be
|
||||
obtained by typing<br>

||||

<p>If you want Shorewall to load these modules from an alternate
|
||||
directory, you need to set the MODULESDIR variable in
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf to point to that directory.<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>If your FTP helper modules are compressed and have the names <span
|
||||
style="font-style: italic;">ip_nat_ftp.o.gz </span>and <span
|
||||
style="font-style: italic;">ip_conntrack_ftp.o.gz</span> then you will
|
||||
need Shorewall 1.4.7 or later if you want Shorewall to load them for
|
||||
you.<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>Server configuration is covered in <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">the
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/rules documentation</a>,<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>For a client, you must open outbound TCP port 21. <br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>The above discussion about commands and responses makes it clear
|
||||
that the
|
||||
FTP connection-tracking and NAT helpers must scan the traffic on the
|
||||
control
|
||||
connection looking for PASV and PORT commands as well as PASV
|
||||
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. <span
|
||||
style="font-weight: bold;">For example, if you
|
||||
run an FTP server that listens on port 49 or you need to access a
|
||||
server on the internet that listens on that port then you would have:</span><br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,49<br>
|
||||
loadmodule ip_nat_ftp ports=21,49<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Note that you MUST include port 21 in the <i>ports</i> list or you
|
||||
may have problems accessing regular FTP servers.</p>
|
||||
<p>If there is a possibility that these modules might be loaded before
|
||||
Shorewall starts, then you should include the port list in
|
||||
/etc/modules.conf:<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>options ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,49<br>
|
||||
options ip_nat_ftp ports=21,49<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
<p><b>IMPORTANT: </b>Once you have made these changes to
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/modules and/or /etc/modules.conf, you must either:<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Unload the modules and restart shorewall: (<b><font
|
||||
color="#009900">rmmod ip_nat_ftp; rmmod ip_conntrack_ftp; shorewall
|
||||
restart</font></b>); or</li>
|
||||
<li>Reboot</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|

One problem that I see occasionally involves active mode and the FTP
|
||||
server in my DMZ. I see the active data connection <u>to certain
|
||||
client IP addresses</u> being continuously rejected by my firewall. It
|
||||
is my conjecture that there is some broken client out there that is
|
||||
sending a PORT command that is being either missed or mis-interpreted
|
||||
by the FTP connection tracking helper yet it is being accepted by my
|
||||
FTP server. My solution is to add the following rule:<br>
|
||||
<blockquote>
|
||||
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1">
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||

|

|

|
||||

|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td valign="top">ACCEPT:info<br>
|

|
||||

|

|

<br>

|

The above rule accepts and logs all active mode connections from my DMZ
|

to the net.<br>
