   -> Hello All,   
      
   -> I have been having trouble getting the ftp service working here. I   
   discovered   
   -> that I could log into the ftp server with an ftp client and issue the   
   passive   
   -> command to turn off passive mode and it would work well for me then.   
      
   -> So I added the BBS machine to the DMZ so all ports would be open to the   
   outside   
   -> and then file transfers from the BBS web page or FTP server work fine.   
      
   -> I just wonder if there is a range of ports I should open rather than use the   
   -> DMZ?   
      
   The unsecure ftp ports are 20 and 21, secure ports are 989 and 990.   
      
   You should also do a search for FTP Ephemeral Ports which I believe   
   passive uses which would be a range of ports that are dynamic..   
      
   The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) suggests the range 49152   
   to 65535 (215+214 to 216-1) for dynamic or private ports.[1]   
      
   Many Linux kernels use the port range 32768 to 61000.[note 2] FreeBSD   
   has used the IANA port range since release 4.6. Previous versions,   
   including the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD), use ports 1024 to   
   5000 as ephemeral ports.[2][3]   
      
   Microsoft Windows operating systems through XP use the range 1025-5000   
   as ephemeral ports by default.[4] Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Server   
   2008 use the IANA range by default.[5] Windows Server 2003 uses the   
   range 1025-5000 by default, until Microsoft security update MS08-037   
   from 2008 is installed, after which it uses the IANA range by   
   default.[6] Windows Server 2008 with Exchange Server 2007 installed has   
   a default port range of 1025-60000.[7] In addition to the default range,   
   all versions of Windows since Windows 2000 have the option of specifying   
   a custom range anywhere within 1025-65535.
