FTP set up through LTM

I am unable to find any information concerning setup of the LTM to LB both active and passive FTP.     Does anyone have any documentation regarding this, pleas?     Thank you.

similar/same issue here. i have a checkpoint firewall. seems that this works fine as long as the F5 and ftp servers are 'inside' the firewall but as soon as i try to pass through the firewall it doesn't go too well.

 

 

F5 -> firewall -> ftp server

 

 

or i can also try:

 

 

F5 -> firewall -> F5 -> ftp server

 

 

FTP session will open through the command channel, but cannot go active or passive for data transfers.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

hoping to support both active and passive but would be happy with passive.
