port range limit

Post by scottomatic »

Hello

I am using CoreFTP client to connect to a server at a business location using FTPS (SSL DIRECT). The client grabs the connection on port 990 but then also grabs a random port anywhere between 0 and 50000. I need to limit what ports the client will use in that extended range, I'd like to limit it to only use ports between 29000 and 30000 in the extended range. I see in the ADVANCED > CONNECTIONS settings where you can set a port range but setting it seems to have no effect. Any advice on how to achieve this? Thanks!

the port range only works when the PASV option is unchecked. The client can tell which ports to connect to on the client, but not the other way around.
