I'm trying to modify the zope ftp-access to specify a port range within the server selects the ports for the passive ftp communication with the ftp-clients. This is in order to have the Zope server behind a firewall blocking more then the privileged ports only.
This feature has already been added to Zope 2.6 as a patch.
I originally added it to Zope 2.5, so I think you can just copy the 2.6 ftp_server from CVS and drop it into your current Zope to get it to work.
I tried to backport this feature into Zope 2.5 but had not much luck with it. Using this patch trough a firewall does not work properly, as the server in the end uses the fall-back situation using bind without a specified port. This means in the end the server allocates a port which is again outside the provided port-range and therefore blocked by the firewall. It seems I have to open the unpriviliged ports on the Zope server. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tobias Schiebeck tobias.schiebeck@man.ac.uk International AVS Centre Manchester Visualization Centre http://www.iavsc.org tel: (+44) 161-275-6870 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
