Figure 51. Configuring TCP port filter for FTP

After configuring the FTP portfilter, you can open an ftp session from Remote to Local, however you can issue ftp commands (e.g., login, cd, etc.). Because the trigger to permit transfer of data via FTP has not been defined, no data can be transferred. (Data transfer occurs with the commands ls, dir, get, put commands.) The portfilter allows an ftp control channel but does not allow the use of a secondary data channel for passing data by ftp.

To enable the FTP data channel, add a trigger to open a secondary channel only when data is being passed. This minimizes the number of open ports. Each open port is a security risk.

1.From the Configuration Menu, > Configuration > Security > Security Trigger Configuration... > New Trig- ger.
