Talk:Apache Modules mod ftpd

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

afaik: if you run an ftp server behind a router , you must enable PASV mode and configure a port-range which it can use to transfer files. For small servers 25ports are more than enough (25 transfers simultanously). You forward 20-21 TCP and (eg) 6000-6025 TCP to your ftpserver. Then it should work in all cases. Also some providers block ports below 1024. (telenet - belgium) so you must change 20/21 to something else.

Where on earth did you get this documentation? None of the directives in the example are documented at http://httpd.apache.org/mod_ftp/mod/mod_ftp.html. is this some kind of joke? i guess next you will have an entry for mod_irc so you can run an IRC server of of apache. Heck, why not use apache for an sshd daemon? in theory we could have every daemon running under apache. It could be great! just one giant apache conf file.

Seriously, if apache.org wants to make a ftp mod then fine but please don't make up stuff. -- James Glenn @ 198.247.173.246
