Problem using Medusa-based FTP-server behind firewall

[Thomas Weholt]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Medusa as a pure-python FTP-server and its working
great -- used locally. When I'm trying to access the server from the
internet it tries to open a connection to a port above 3000, probably the
data connection. I guess this port will vary from client to client, how many
connections there are to the ftp-server etc. These ports are not opened in
my firewall and the connection attempt from the client times out. Can I
somehow control what port the clients tries to connect to and in that way
open a specific range in my firewall, ie. have control over what range of
ports the clients tries to connect to when using my ftp-server?

Any hints or clues are appreciated.

Best regards,
Thomas
