I would need to know more about exactly what you set up for port forwarding with PuTTY to be sure, but I expect your problem is that you're opening only port 21, not also port 20. It doesn't matter whether you're using passive or active FTP, it still insists on using a separate control and data stream. For a good explanation, see: http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html It's probably not worth the effort necessary to make passive ftp work this way (you'll have to interpret the PORT P command sent back by the server, and then add an encrypted stream on that port).

PuTTY includes an sftp component these days, as well as an scp and an ssh-agent component.

That means it won't work with stuff like rssh[1], and it's just architecturally unsound in any case. It also claims that it can't support SSH2 keys (only rsa1 ones, which are inherently insecure since they force you into using SSH1, which is inherently insecure), and doesn't know how to talk to any sort of ssh-agent software. Both claims are bit silly, since the newer versions of the libraries it's linking against for this stuff do both of those things, but whatever. I've played with ixplorer[2] as software to give my Windows users, which communicates well with PuTTY's pageant, but its interface is a bit flaky (well, last time I checked, anyway), and it's shareware. In any case, if Jon wants a commandline like ncftp, none of these things are going to make him very happy.

Yeah, passive mode definitely won't work without a lot of effort (mostly because you don't know the port number for the data stream port). Active mode will only work if you *also* tunnel the data stream port. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net [1] http://rssh.sourceforge.net/ [2] http://www.i-tree.org/secixpro/ Attachment:
