FTP PASS Server behind Mikrotik Firewall

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I have a Mikrotik firewall with the latest RouterOS release 5.19. I would like to know how to configure Mikrotik Firewall to support the FTP Pass server behind. I’m a Linux user and in linux I only had to open the 21/tcp port and load connection tracking module for FTP and the firewall automatically open new ports inspecting FTP protocol (thanks to connection state module). I couldn’t do this with Mikrotik and I had to open manually a range of ports used for FTP Pass.

  • Mikrotik Firewall supports connection tracking for FTP protocol?
  • I have to load a module o something similar?

Thanks,

Christian

Do you mean FTP forwarding? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Forwarding_a_port_to_an_internal_IP
Make sure FTP NAT helper is enabled.

Yes. I think FTP NAT helper was what I needed. Thanks
