Configuring FTP on port 990

jjcomp
Level 1
Level 1

I currently have a Cisco 891 running with a FTP running on port 21. I currently have the NAT from external IP to and internal IP 192.168.12.6 for port 21. And the firewall allowing that traffic through and client software is working fine. However I need this FTP to be running on port 990 and anytime I change the NAT and the firewall, the external FTP clients connect but then drop when recieving the directory listing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi

The reason for this is because FTP is not a very good protocol so this is a design flaw with the way ftp works in itself.

When you send data to and from a ftp server you open up ports that are not in the initial channel ie port 21.

to know what those ports are and to prepare the firewalls along the way of the connection all the firewalls (ie your router) need to inspect the ftp traffic ie look into the ftp stream and check what ports the connection wants to open and prepare access-lists and nat and som other things for those ports.

This is normally done on port 21, and as long as you do not change that it will work since it know that it should look out for that info on port 21. ie open all packets and check for the specific information it needs to know, "by default". 

No you want to change that to port 990, the firewall does not open the packets and inspect them and since it does not do that it does not open the data channel since it does not know there even is a data channel so that you can transfer files or information and the whole thing fails.

Now you know the background of why it fails.

So what can you do about it ?

you can either state "ok fine i will live with a crappy protocol that will have problems with firewalls (firewall unfriendly) and does nothing to protect me and sends things in clear text including login and passwords.

So I will there for change my ip inspect information to make it work on port 990 instead of 21."

OR

you can state "I will choose a better protocol to transfer my files, a protocol that protects my information by encryption and provides alot more security and is firewall friendly such as SFTP"

a word of advice, dont get it mixed up with ftps, that is one screwed protocol.

good luck

HTH

In this case I don't have a choice to the protocol. It is a proprietary system that is using the FTP protocol. I just need to get the translation working.

ok

sorry for the delay in my answer.

I have taken a look at it and I can not find the PAM part where you tell the router to look for the FTP packets on port 990.

it should be something like

ip port-map ftp port tcp 990

and it has to be hit by the packets before any other matching port-map (ie tcp) other wise it will not fire.

I am not that familliar with zbf so I have a bit of a hard time reading the config.

HTH

The config I posted was the one that is currently working for port 21, when I need it on port 990.

I've tried the following:

ip port-map ftp port 990 list 10

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.12.6 990 interface FastEthernet8 990

access-list 10 permit 192.168.12.6

But this didn't work..... Now it was after the statement: ip port-map user-protocol--1 port tcp 2080

Which is currently working for a different service. Would this stop it? And if so, by putting: ip port-map ftp port 990 list 10, before it, would it then stop working? I can't take that service down...

Again, all help is appreciated.....

can u try this

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.12.6  23   x.x.x.x  990

when u will ftp at x.x.x.x ip address port 990, it should divert the traffic to ip 192.168.12.6 port 23.

Nitin,

I tried that same thing today but back to port 21 instead of 23.  Got the same results.  Is there something significant about port 23?

Hi Jason,

I made a little mistake  in cofiguration....See the correct one below.

ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.12.6  21   x.x.x.x  990

when u will ftp at x.x.x.x ip address port 990, it should divert the traffic to ip 192.168.12.6 port 21.

Revert for any clarifications.

Nitin,

Tried it and no luck....

I have also tried the ip port-map and ip nat service concepts....  also no luck....  Using ip port-map I can get a connection to the server, but then it drops when it does the pass off to another port.

Anyother ideas?
