Actually, I'd be interested in even hearing ways to solve this problem that DO involve modifying the source code... I dug into the FTPServer.py code a while back to try to tackle this very problem and didn't see where the ports were being specified. Unfortunately, other matters became a bit more pressing. I'd be willing to hack up a way to set the passive ftp ports if someone would orient me a bit...
I changed the code in one of my servers to specify the pasv port range.. Now I can't remember which instance I changed, or where it was in the code. It wasn't hard, if that's any help. You need to change ZServer/medusa/ftp_server.py class passive_acceptor (asyncore.dispatcher): ready = None def __init__ (self, control_channel): # connect_fun (conn, addr) asyncore.dispatcher.__init__ (self) self.control_channel = control_channel self.create_socket (socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) # bind to an address on the interface that the # control connection is coming from. self.bind (( self.control_channel.getsockname()[0], 0 )) self.addr = self.getsockname() self.listen (1) As I recall, I put a range loop to try the self.bind over a range of non-privilaged ports. I use a range in case a port is in use. Brad Clements, bkc@murkworks.com (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax netmeeting: ils://ils.murkworks.com AOL-IM: BKClements
