Re: [FW-1] Connection reset after login to FTP server?



Could also be the fact that the firewall, by default, expect an end of line response from the ftp server, when it doesn't get one then it just hangs for a very long time until the connection eventually times out.  There is a modification to the base.def which is to comment out the line "ENFORCE_NEW_LINE" by adding a // to the front of it.  This change is made on the management station and then push a policy down to the modules.  I believe this should resolve your issue.
