Hi All

I have opened up ports 20 and 21 to allow for ftp'ing through to the =
server, but I have noticed in the logs that the client is trying to make =
connections to ports up in the 3000 and 6000 range. I don't really want =
to open up a whole range of port just to allow the odd person to =
connect.

What should I be doing to try and get around this problem ?
