RE: EDIINT AS2 Question was RE: ARGH! Please make it STOP!

["Hatzenbeler, Tim" <thatzenbeler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the approach were currently looking at....

  A box in the dmz, running linux, and cleo lexicom (as/2)...  with a
firewall to the world... only opening up, the needed ports, and also running
ssh server, so we can do a secure ftp to and from this dmz box...

My question now centers around ssh,  I'm not sure it it too requires a
listening port, (similar to as/2) inside my firewall...  or will it work
like a normal ftp... So I will need to test that piece here pretty soon...
