HI

I'm behind a router and I am missing a feature.

Under
Options - Proxy - Firewall
should be a function like

Bind Sockets to external IP

Because the only option to use active mode for me is to
enter my ip manually in the Bind to field.
That's bad, because I have a dynamic IP.
If FlashFXP could automaticly use my external IP, it would be a great help :-)

Please think about this, cute ftp for example has got this feature.

P.S: Another possibility would be to use a dns server in the bind to field like myip.flashfxp.com
which returns the IP from the machine which sent the dns request.
But I don't know any DNS server with this function...
