FTPs (FTP over SSL/TLS)

[rahil.patel]

Having problems with setting up FTPs (FTP over SSL/TLS) on PIX. The client successfully performs the initial authentication using port 990 (control channel for FTPs) but the connection timesout after that. Tried without pix & it works fine - so PIX is definitely the problem. If anybody has successfully done this - any help provided will be appreciated.

does this app create two connections?, a control and data channel? any log data?

there is no ftp + ssl standard, so it is impossible for cisco to write an app level proxy for it. if it does create two connections, it will almost assuredly not work through a pix, as it cannot keep state and expect the second connection to be initiated.
