Thought the data channel and the command channel was the same with
passive ftp.

Going to the ftp server,

access-list 102 permit tcp host 1.1.1.1 gt 1023 host 2.2.2.2 eq ftp

Coming from the ftp server

access-list 102 permit tcp host 2.2.2.2 eq ftp host 1.1.1.1 gt 1023

My best guess.

Dear all,

   In all the examples of passive FTP in the book of Ptractical Studies
Vol.
2. It states that to match the passive FTP traffic by ACL to a server,
the
ACL should be:

   1. permit ip tcp any host x.x.x.x ftp
   2. permit ip tcp any host x.x.x.x gt 1023 established

    I wonder why established is used in the statement 2, since in
passive
FTP, the data channel should be initiated by the client to server at a
port
greater than 1023.

Best Regards,
William Chen
