Weird UPD packets on incoming FTP MLSD command
- by FractalizeR
Hello.
I am developing a firewall script for my server. So far it is working fine, except for FTP.
Server is dedicated, CentOS based with static IP. There is no NAT between me and server. IPTables is a firewall.
Here is a script I use to configure iptables:

I allow all RELATED and ESTABLISHED connections in it and load all conn_track modules. I supposed it to be sufficient in order FTP to work with iptables.
The problem is that FTP is not working either in passive or active mode. FileZilla and TotalCommander just hangs on MLSD FTP command. In the server log at the exact moment of FTP connection some weird packets are dropped by firewall:
