Firewall feature not working for FTP

[nathanadams]

Hi,

Been using ISPManager for a year now, brilliant. My site was recently hacked so I have enabled the firewall inside ISPManager to only allow one IP Address to connect to the ftp server. e.g. 1.2.3.4/32. (open_partial)

Now only this IP address (ftp client) can access my ftp server. Works so far.

However I also want my server to act as a ftp client and connect to ftp server 1.2.3.4/32, firstly this is client not server and it has the same IP address so I would have thought there would be no restrictions, however with the ftp server rule in place I cannot connect to the remote ftp server, if I disable this rule my connection is fine. Seems like 'ftp server' rules affect outbound connections and do not look at the rules.

I am running version 4.3, seems like a bit of a bug to me...

OK I see the issue, I assumed that this rule was for FTP SERVER ( well a better description should be just FTP as it includes client as well). To get want I want I also have to add MY SERVER IP address to the list and now I can make out bound ftp connections.
