The more-secure way to use FTP is by enabling the FTP proxy in the Astaro.

Go to 'Web Security >> FTP'
On the 'Global' tab,
- [Enable] the proxy,
- choose the "Transparent" mode and
- click the folder to drag 'Internal (Network)' into 'Allowed networks'.
-Click [Apply].

On the 'Advanced' tab, in the 'FTP Servers' section,
-click on the folder and
-drag 'Any' into the box for 'Allowed servers'.
-Click [Apply].

Now you should have to trouble with FTP.

When you turn on the FTP Proxy, the Astaro automatically creates the packet filter rules that you need for FTP. The same thing is done in many places in the Astaro. I believe each of the proxies manages its own packet filter rules.

There are some places where you can choose to create your own packet filter rules. This includes VPNs and NAT rules. That requires you to unclick a box for 'Automatic packet filter rules' that you find there.

Cheers - Bob
