FTPS and Service - problem

L4 Transporter

Hello

I have FTP server on Debian 7 (ProFTPD 1.3.1) and security rule:

2014-07-02_202605.png

and now FTPS connection works.

With "application-default" as a service FTPS sessions hangs on listing directory and sfter some time FTP client was disconected.

I'm on 6.0.2 PAN with latest updates.

Is this a normal behaviour? According to best practice we should use "application-default" as a service - but in this case we couldn't.

Please share Your opinion about that.

With regards

Hi SLV,

Can you please put enalarged Traffic log, I think FTPS is using non-standard port here. That why "Any" is required.

Hi SLV,

Yes, FTP is using standard port 21 and it must work with application-default.

However, this discussion thread was opened for  FTPS, which is different than FTP. Can you provide enlarged log for FTPS?

What does mean "enlarged log for FTPS"?

Do You need "sh session id xxxx" output?

small  update, I'm using 1.3.4a ProFTPD.

Hi SLV,

If you read title for this thread it says "FTPS and service - Problem". Are you referring FTP by using word FTPS?

Hello SLV,

If you want to find out root cause for issue,  than try following commands.

debug dataplane packet-diag set filter on
debug dataplane packet-diag set filter match source <Client-IP>  destination <Server-IP>
debug dataplane packet-diag set filter match destination<Client-IP> source <Server-IP>
show counter global filter packet-filter yes delta yes
Than Generate Traffic
Again execute command "show counter global filter packet-filter yes delta yes"

Not applicable

you may want to look at the link below. FTPS is not a regular FTP

How to Allow FTPS/FTPES Traffic Through the Firewall

FTP uses 21 port

FTPS will use 443 port.

Applipedia doesn't have application name as FTPS.

Look at your Ubuntu proftpd.conf file and confirm what port is configured as the listening port for the traffic.  These are frequently on non-standard ports which mean you can't use application default.  You can use any or the better option of the specific port that is configured.

Hello

Only one option related to ports is:

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.

Port                            21

FTPS uses the same port as a FTP (look onto my screenshot) and above configurations. Applipedia dosn't have dedicated app because its a regular FTP tunneled in SSL (according to my knoweladge)

In that case FTPS is SSL running on port 25, hence you must need any for it to work.

Hi ,

i think you are mixing up some thinks.

FTPS is FTP with TLS encryption and uses still standard Port 21

SFTP is secure copy over ssh Protocol which uses Port 22

I don't know why hshah is talking about Port 25

FTPS should work with app FTP and app-default (actually it does in my config)

You should start a flow debug to find out whats happening.

I have problem with FTPS I know what it is and differences between SFTP and FTPS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTPS

Ok,

FTPS (with client Option explicit over TLS) should work with app FTP and App default.

You should start a flow debug to find out whats happening.
