Browse All TopicsHello I am trying to setup FTP so external user can access an internal resource. I setup FTP in IIS on a w3k server. I have a PIX FW. I am not very familiar with the PIX however I created an object e.g call FTP-outside with the public IP address. I am so have a Authoritive DNS on my DMZ, so in DNS I added an entry of ftp.mycompany.com with the public IP address for name resolution
USing the ASDM, I created a rule in the Access Rules section under the dmz interface as follows
Dmz Interface
source ftp-outside object and destination being the int device service ftp-data
source ftp-outside object, destination int device
Outside Interface
source ftp-outside destination internal device service ftp
source ftp-outside destination internal device service ftp-data
I then created a NAT Rule
Static Source internal object int outside address ftp-outside object
What am I doing wrong

The FTP serve rhas its own public IP addres or does ftp.mycompany.com point to the ip address of the outside of your firewall?
heres some working code
name 123.123.123.123 My-Public-FTP-Server s-list inbound extended permit tcp any host My-Public-FTP-Server eq ftp
name 192.168.1.1 My-Private-FTP-Server
acces
access-group inbound in interface outside
static (inside,outside) My-Public-FTP-Server My-Private-FTP-Server netmask 255.255.255.255
ftp mode passive
where 123.123.123.123 change for your correct public IP address, and 192.168.1.1 change to the correct internal IP address.
