    hi
    i have a firewall, iptables on linux redhat 9.
    behind it i have one ftp server(windows) and one webserver (windows).

    i have tried to make a SSH-tunnel to the ftp-server, tried both
    with putty on windows and with ssh on a FreeBSD like this:
    ssh -L 2121:ftp.server.ipnum:21 sshhostipnum

    the problem seems to be ftp-data, login works just fine, but
    when i print "ls" or anything else i get "500 Invalid PORT Command "

    it works from the ssh-shell to the ftp server.

    what am i doing wrong?

    thanks
