FTP/TLS Access Via PIX 7.2

Jul 10, 2012 1 Replies

I've been surfing around to try and work out how to configure a PIX to support FTP/TLS access from an Internet user to a server behind my PIX.



I can't see any examples of how to configure this but a few posts suggests that the PIX / ASA doesn't support this feature. I understand that the control connection is encrypted resulting in the PIX not been able to see the Data / PASV reply.



The FTP client is Filezilla.



Any help in debugging or solving this would be appreciated.

Either you open the full range of ports towards the FTP/TLS server (and then you have a 1:1 NAT towards that server since you cannot predict in advance which port will be used for the data connection ) or yes the PIX won't open the hole for the data connection unless it proxies the TLS connection but afaik that's done only for the IP phones.
