Hi,

I Beleive you would place it into the /lib/modules/2.2.19-7.0.8/ipv4 directory then to install the module you would just enter at command line insmod -k -f ip_masq_fxp22.c

To verify correctly in place type lsmod will show loaded or not, if you want to add this to your startup (booting up) you must edit the rc.local with the above command (insmod.......)

Hope this helps

i get:

[root@stypel ipv4]# /sbin/insmod -k -f ip_masq_ftp.c
ip_masq_ftp.c: ip_masq_ftp.c is not an ELF file

It's a C source file, it needs to be compiled. See ip_masq_icq-0.56-9.src.rpm from releases/5.5/SRPMS on the ftp site  for an example of how to make an RPM from it.

What problem do you have which you think this update will fix?

Well, i'm having trouble list'ing, etc. on certain ftps, people tell me to turn passive mode off, however, when i do that it still does not work.

When I installed this module before (using sme 5.12) i can't remember how i did it, it fixed the problem

Thanks

It sounds like this is a fairly complex procedure which you don't know much about. No offense or anything, it just sounds like you might be getting in over your head. I also inferred from Charlie's response that he's not sure it'll fix your problem anyway. Perhaps there's an easier solution somewhere?
