FTP behind a firewall

I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this. I'll be running a small home network, all using the internet through a Linux (Redhat 7.1) box with @home on it.

I was just wonding if there was an easy way to set up an FTP on one of the other computers. I was thinking that I could route any requests for port 21 to that box, but then I wouldn't be able to FTP into the main box. Any suggestions??
 
Yes you can easily run an ftp server behind your Linux firewall. Like others said, you either have the choice of forwarding port 21 to some other machine on your internal network OR setting your ftp server to use some other port above 1024 and forwarding that port to the internal machine.

The only thing is with an internal ftp server users will be connecting via passive ftp. This is probably fine for most clients but I have had issues with this in the past...
