FTP passive data transfer FP's and flowbits

[Kungu Panda <kungupanda () gmail com>]

I am experiencing a large number of false-positive alerts generated from ftp
sessions; specifically ftp data sessions tripping alerts on binary
transfers.

Any recommendations on associating an ftp command channel with an ftp
passive data-channel which, of course, occur on ports from the command
channel?  Association for use with snort flowbits to identify ftp sessions
and eliminate FPs on troublesome rules. . .

Thanks,
K.Panda
