Re: [Kerio 2.x] My Kerio 2.1.5 rules based on BZ's please critiq
Some additional information about my system...
There are two WinXP/IE6 options that affect FTP, and thus FTP rules. The settings I am currently using are:
o In IE6, Advanced tab.
checked Use Passive FTP (def=unchecked)
o In Folder Options, View tab.
checked Enable Folder view of FTP sites (def=checked)
Have Windows Updates corrected the oddities related to these settings that are discussed below?

Many have suggested that if you enable Passive FTP this causes IE to use the higher numbers....and in my testing today of IE and FTP surfing this is not true. What I found that causes IE to use the High Port numbers was the disabling of Enable FTP Folder View in IE.

Well the real problem is Microsoft completely disabled the "Use Passive FTP etc" check box in IE 6 and Passive FTP is now turned on/off by using the Enable FTP Folder View check box. Ethereal shows that the Passive FTP box no longer does anything.

The reason I don't want to use Folder View is because there was an Exploit that allowed a malicious person to execute embedded script, here is some more reading on it: cert.uni-stuttgart.de/archive/bugtraq/..

Right in IE 6.0 you will be using passive FTP because MS disabled the "Use Passive option" and made it default. The only way to disable Passive FTP is to "Enable Folder View of FTP sites". |
