ASA 5505 with 8.3(1) trying to get FTP working

I recently got an ASA and replaced a pix 506 that kept locking up on me. I stumbled through getting the NAT stuff configured since it is so drastically different in 8.3 and followed some instructions I found with google to set up my ftp server. now it works for internet but when I tried to connect to my FTP I can't connect. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but still can't connect at all.

here is my config:

Can you connect to it from a local host?

ASKER

yes, it works from an local host.

Craig Beck

I believe this is what you need...

class-map inspection_default
match default-inspection-traffic
!
!
policy-map asa_global_fw_policy
class inspection_default
inspect ftp
!
service-policy asa_global_fw_policy global

those settings you gave me are very similar to the ones that are already there at the end of the config. I tried them anyway, but there appears to be no change. I still can not get FTP to work through the firewall.

I decided to try for something less complex and go with just https instead of ftp to see if I could get that working. I added the object and the nat line and then the ACL. it still doesn''t work. I also added allow icmp any any... that at least works. so my current acl is:

access-list 101 extended permit icmp any any
access-list 101 extended permit tcp any interface outside eq https

and the nat line under the object is:

nat (inside,outside) static interface service tcp https https

I turned on terminal monitor and when I try to access the web interface of my NAS I get a bunch of:

Sep 27 2011 16:20:47: %ASA-3-710003: TCP access denied by ACL from <source ip>/58561 to outside:<outside interfaace ip>/443

I've tried many variations of the ACL and can't seem to make any work.

Also, with terminal monitor on, before I removed all the ftp ACLs I noticed that no logs were displayed when I tried to connect to the FTP.

Can you specify destination Ip of the host and if you actually want ALL web(http) traffic to be able to traverse to spcified host? Let us know....ANd we can do it via ftp...but let us know a little more info, like destination host Ip, hostname, or any other info etc, and what you actually want accessing that or said destination host....Give us that info and we'll give you the solution for it...Hope this helps.

Let us know,

the destination IP would be the internal address of my ftp server (which has a web interfqace and requires ssl) that IP is 192.168.0.10/24. I don't usually allow web traffic through my firewalls at all so this is really just for testing purposes until I figure out whats wrong and then try to apply the solution to allowing ftp. (in other words yes, all https can be forwarded to that destination). hostname would be HOME... it's just an FTP enabled NAS... I never access it by hostname... only IP. This was working fine on the pix 506 that I replaced with this ASA... and no changes have been made to the NAS at all (192.168.0.10 is set statically)

I have tried adding multiple versions of the acl that specify the host by IP or by object name and so far I have not managed to get anything to work. every time I try to access the web interface I get the same log messages. the source IP being my IP address I am trying from (using my work computer) and the external interface IP being the ISP assigned DHCP address attached to my outside interface.
