outbound FTP problem.

[wblauen01]

Setup:
Users reside on an intranet behind a Wingate 4.x firewall.
Users can browse and access Web servers fine.
Users can download files from web-sites via HTTP or FPT fine.

Users access an FTP server on the Pubilc Internet. The server is configured to ONLY accept connections on port 20/21.

PROBLEM:
This setup only allows passive FTP for file upload.
Is there any way that I can enable active FTP through the Wingate Firewall because the users have a variety of clients for different OSes (MAC/Windows/DOS/Unix) that do not all support passive FTP?

So far I have not been able to do this successfully.
Files get created on the FTP server but the transfer never finishes and the file size stays "0 Bytes".
I'm assuming this is because of the firewall blocking the returned data channel request from the server.
This is specifically an issue if IE is used for FTS uploads.

Thanks for any iffo anyone can give.

I've got exactly the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
