My FTP client application is issuing a port command to open a socket on port 1136 on my machine to receive a file from an ftp server. The command looks like this.
PORT 192,168,2,3,4,112
The question I have is why is this working despite the fact I don't have the port open on my linksys firewall?
The command doesn't work at my other site behind a different firewall.
I understand how a passive (PASV) file transfer would work but I dont get why this works.
thanks for the help.
