 +====== How to Open Ports for Passive FTP in CSF (Configserver Firewall & Security) ======
  
 +FTP passive mode can help with a **Directory Listing Timeout** error when connecting through an ISP that is not allowing **port 20**.
 +
 +If you are using CSF on cPanel, it may be necessary to unblock the port range needed by the default FTP client, **Pure-ftpd**.
 +
 +By default the ports are set to 49152 to 65534.
 +
 +To unblock those ports, log in to **WHM**.
 +
 +Once inside, go to **Plugins**.
 +
 +In plugins, click on **Configserver Firewall & Security**.
 +
 +Once there, click on **Firewwall Configuration**.
 +
 +Find the setting **TCP_IN** and **TCP_OUT** in the list, and add the following to each:
 +
 +<code>
 +49152:65534
 +</code>
 +
 +<note>
 +The tcp_in and tcp_out fields are comma separated, but you can put the range above as a single value, so by default the last port to open is 2096, so you would add the new one as 2096,49152:65534

 +Click **Change** at the bottom.
 +
 +On the next screen, click **Restart CSF + LFD**.
