ASA 5505 blocking inbound FTP

jeremy.lebeau — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 17:08:11 GMT

I am trying to work on a ASA5505 that is preventing connection to a FTP server on the inside interface. I have gone through the config and config examples on the site, but I'm missing something.

The server is at 192.168.3.205 internally. There are static maps and access list entries for ftp, ftp-data, and a range of ports (41100-41110) that were configured for passive FTP connections. Still, whenever you attempt to connect from outside, it just times out.

Here is the config (IPs and such obscured obviously). Any suggestions would be well appreciated to get this thing working.

Thanks.

I would try this

policy-map global_policy

class inspection_default

Inspection ftp

If for any reason that doesn't work try this

static (inside,outside) tcp 1.2.3.74 ftp-data 192.168.3.205 ftp-data netmask 255.255.255.255

static (inside,outside) tcp 1.2.3.74 ftp 192.168.3.205 ftp netmask 255.255.255.255

access-list 101 extended permit tcp any host 1.2.3.74 eq ftp-data

access-list 101 extended permit tcp any host 1.2.3.74 eq ftp

Let me know

Well, I think that worked. I took out the access-list rules and static maps to the .73 address and put them back in for the .74 and it worked.

Any suggestions why? Because outbound traffic is coming from the .74 address so it mismatches when the ftp server replies?

Thanks for the help.

Re: ASA 5505 blocking inbound FTP

Diego Armando Cambronero Arias — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 21:22:45 GMT

Yes. You are using .73 as inbound but your reply will go out

with the 74 that you are using in the global (Outside) Port forwarding is not bi.directionl but the

normal static is.

So If you have static (IN,OUT) X Y your inside server will be accessed with the X ip and it will go to the internet with th X as well.

If you have static (IN,OUT) tcp X 21 Y 21 this will work only for inbound connections, this way will use the global that you have configured in you case.

Thanks,
