I downloaded the Stefaan's article from the isaserver.org

I do not understand  when you write: ",but I vague recall a switch can
take place between HTTP tunneled and "SecureNAT" FTP based on browser
settings. If the SecureNAT FTP was activated by the config, that would
cause the denial."


Thanks for your time Thomas.
