Hi Guys

I'm busy testing a firewall which I setup. I need to check whether Active and Passive ftp work. ftp.saix.co.za is passive and everything works 100%

Where can I find an Active FTP server which I can do a download test from?
 
the active/passive is client-side config

if passive works then active should work

No... The server has to support active.

And most servers disable active these days, because it's a security risk.

Best bet would be to set up your own FTP server just to test it.
 
i could give you my home ftp server details i'm pretty sure it's active. there's nothing much on there.
 
thanks guys

Cerebus, that would be awsome thanks...could you PM me the details? I just want to test that the download initiates. I dnt need to download the entire file
