Problems with FTP port 8021
I've been trying to use an FTP client to access Zope with little luck. As luck would have it, I'm behind an IP Masquerading box at home. The FTP module on Linux for IP forwarding works on port 21. This seems to be hard coded. Unfortunately, the firewall box is an old eSoft box that has an old version of Debian and Linux. It is also a headless box and if I try to install a new version of Linux, and it doesn't work, I'm screwed. This removes the possibility of recompiling the FTP module to work on port 8021. Is there a way I can use FTP port 8021 or an alternate protocol that works with IP forwarding? -- Ken Kinder 303.381.7631

On the box running Zope would you be allowed to have ZServer hijack the regular FTP port? If so, just use the options to Z2.py to tell Zope to do so. I don't know if it would work to try to pass FTP through some other otherwise unused port number that the masquarade box will pass, but it might. Otherwise I'd suggest just going out and picking up a used Pentium 100 to build yourself a nice new firewall for Real Cheap <grin>. (Mine cost me exactly $100....) --RDM
