I'm trying to forward an FTP-server with IPTables. The FTP-Server is running on a Windows 2008 box (Cerberus).
Details Win Box:
- IP: 192.168.220.51
- FTP-Port: 21
- PASV-Ports: 11000-13000
The FTP-server works great in LAN.
The router is working fine for other clients (Serving NAT, DHCP, Firewall,...). I need to forward the FTP-service to the outside world, but I can't use ports 20-21 (already taken).
I tried this, but it didn't work:
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2121 -j DNAT --to 192.168.220.51:21
Current IPTables config:
[root@router ~]# service iptables status
Table: nat
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
num target prot opt source destination
1 MASQUERADE all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0

Any help would be great :-).
Bounty-Edit: I have not been able to figure this out, any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT2
I'm able to telnet into my FTP-server now, after running there commands:
modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp
modprobe ip_nat_ftp
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 2121 -j DNAT --to 192.168.220.51:21
I'm starting to get there... I think I just need to get my PASV-Ports working now...

Solution
This is how I did it, might not be very pretty, but it works.
[root@router ~]# iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 2121 -j DNAT --to 192.168.220.51:2121
[root@router ~]# iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.220.51 --dport 2121 -j ACCEPT
[root@router ~]# iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 11000:13000 -j DNAT --to 192.168.220.51:11000-13000
[root@router ~]# iptables -I FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.220.51 --dport 11000:13000 -j ACCEPT
Some extra notes: The FTP-server is listening on bot 21 an 2121 and the PASV-range is set from 11000 to 13000
I believe you need FTP connection tracking module loaded.
http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/wp/2006/01/12/iptables-connection-tracking-ftp/
To get passive support working, you are going to need to forward the passive ports to the internal ftp server with the same port numbers.
Easy solution: forward all of them all the time
InternetIP:11000-13000 --> 192.168.220.51:11000-13000
Harder solution:
You will need some special-purpose connection tracking agent that reads the FTP protocol and makes the right NAT mappings just in time. It looks like ip_conntrack_ftp might do this.
should be enough
