Samuel said that mol-dev can no more stay on the same computer because
this one is going behind a firewall.

AFAIK there is no published solution for running an FTP server behind a
firewall, but I have found one, which works very well. If it helps I can
send a mini how-to. The main idea is to reverse the NATing done in the
firewall by a second NAT in the FTP server, so the FTP daemon receive
exactly the same TCP/IP packets as received by the firewall. I uses this
trick on OpenBSD (both for the firewall and the FTP server) which I found
an order of magnitude more admin friendly than Linux.

SAlutations.
