I have two FTP servers begind a firewall. I have the firewall set to
forward traffic on prot 41279 to the second server. In that server I have
modifed the services to provide FTP service on the port. Inside on the
local LAN, this works fine. When I try to connect through the firewall I
get the following messages, and then it tries to reconnect. Ihave modified
the IP address for obvious reasons.

I notice in the /etc/services file that port 21 is ftp and port 20 is
ftp-data. I setup port 41279 as ftp2 and port 41278 as ftp2-data. In the
/etc/inetd.conf file I connected ftp2 to ftpd. The remainder of the
parameters are the same as on the default ftp line in inetd.conf.

Does anybody know what I am missing.

The firewall is a SonicWall, and there is no VPN associated at the present
time. Eventually there will be a VFP involved, but I need to get this
running without the VFP for the conversion.
