ftp-ssl conflict
I am attempting to setup a file transfer with a bank using Robo-FTP with ftp-ssl. I am unable to connect to the bank. The bank says our firewall has to be setup not to inspect FTP Packets (from them?) and tcp/ip data port ranges 6540 - 6590 need to be open. Our network security folks are reluctant to create such a firewall rule or make any firewall changes for that matter.
I'm an applications programmer, not a security expert. How difficult is it to create such a rule and would it create a vulnerability that we should resist?
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated.
