Wingate

We recently installed a new version of Wingate which acts as a firewall
between our internal network and an external web site that requires
database
access through the firewall. We have the firewall successfully set up
to
allow our database traffic through. The one other type of traffic we
want
to allow is FTP outbound (from our internal network to the web server).
We've separately tried both the following:

1. Setting up an FTP Service that forwards port 21 to the outside
machine

2. Setting up a port redirect that redirects port 21 to the outside
machine
(TCP, Local Computers to Wingate Machine)

No matter what settings we use, we always get the messages:
500 Illegal PORT command
ftp: bind: Address already in use

The FTP Proxy server on Wingate is turned off.

Thanks.
