Figure 51. Configuring TCP port filter for FTP

After configuring the FTP portfilter, you can open an ftp session from Remote to Local, however you can issue
ftp commands (e.g., login, cd, etc.). Because the trigger to permit transfer of data via FTP has not been
defined, no data can be transferred. (Data transfer occurs with the commands ls, dir, get, put commands.) The
portfilter allows an ftp control channel but does not allow the use of a secondary data channel for passing data
by ftp.

To enable the FTP data channel, add a trigger to open a secondary channel only when data is being passed.
This minimizes the number of open ports. Each open port is a security risk.
