I would like to add a pledge for strategic advice on
this subject. Since the first message I have elaborated
on the capacities of the client. Presently my suggestion
is based on this behaviour:
IPv4: 1) Try EPSV, PASV, LPSV
2) Try EPRT, PORT, LPRT
where the order indicates priority order, and where the
use of EPSV/EPRT can be toggled on/off by a command "epsv4".
IPv6: 1) Try EPSV, LPSV
2) Try EPRT, LPRT
I have tested all thes mechanisms against the FTP server
present in OpenBSD.
My question to all other developers is this: Is this
priority order acceptable? The inclusion of LPRT/LPSV
is made in order to cope with potentially deteriorate
servers in use. Based on the relative invisibility of
LPRT/LPSV, that method is assigned a minimal priority.
Best regards,
