I am not completely sure about the all details of the FTP protocol but from looking at the sources of the FTP server of Zope it seems that the *client* open the data port and tells the ftp server about the port number for the data connection and not the other way. -aj --On Montag, 19.

I'm running my zope behind a firewall and i want to configure the ftp server so that it opens data connections on ports 20000+
the client is connectin with PASSIVE mode so the server initiates the data connection. normally zope opens ports starting from 2000 (i guess). This doesn't work for me since the firewall is closed below 20000.
Of course the easy way would be te open up the firewal but the server is at our hosting company and i can't admin the firewall :(
I've tried editing ftpserver.py but i can't get it to work.
any suggestions?
Will zope 3 fix this annoying problem?
