Issue/Introduction
FTP access log upload does not work after upgrading from SGOS 6.2 to 6.5.
A PCAP shows that the client is able to login to the FTP server on port 21:
1258 2014-12-30 15:01:27.291207 172.16.0.4 10.10.10.3 FTP Request: USER admin
1259 2014-12-30 15:01:27.292279 10.10.10.3 172.16.0.4 FTP Response: 331 Password required for admin
1260 2014-12-30 15:01:27.293091 172.16.0.4 10.10.10.3 FTP Request: PASS admin
1261 2014-12-30 15:01:27.294384 10.10.10.3 172.16.0.4 FTP Response: 230 Logged on
The FTP server tells the client to initiate the data connection to port 444 (1*256 + 188).
1266 2014-12-30 15:01:27.297470 172.16.0.4 10.10.10.3 FTP Request: PASV
1267 2014-12-30 15:01:27.299362 10.10.10.3 172.16.0.4 FTP Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (10,10,10,3,1,188)
After that the ProxySG appliance does not initiate any traffic on port 444.
Resolution
Configure the FTP server to use a passive FTP port that is higher than 1023.
