NAT addressing for multiple ftp servers

[EV1772]

Hello all,

I have a Cisco 678 DSL modem with CBOS Ver. 2.4.3. I was wondering if it is possible to use NAT translation to access several different internal ftp servers through the modem?

I was able to successfully NAT-address several Real VNC servers since VNC ports allow you to do this (i.e. 10.0.0.1:5901, 10.0.0.2:5902, 10.0.0.3:5903, etc...). I was wondering if something similar could be done for several workstations running ftp servers?

Thanks in advance for any help?

FTP is not router friendly. There are more ports required, and ultimately the ports used are determined by the client and not the ftp server.

See the first article on this thread. For "linksys" read your Cisco modem:

Excellent link! Thanks so much for the info! It seems like I might be asking for more trouble with PORT and PASV modes than it's worth! Thanks again!
