Does anyone out there know whether the NT4 FTP server can be switched from
active to passive mode? If not, would there be a good freeware ftp server
out there that would run on NT and support passive mode?
I'm in a situation where a remote user running ZoneAlarm is failing to
complete a connection because his host is rejecting my M$ ftp server's
attempt to connect back to the client port (that the client requested a
connection on). I tend to feel that he should make his firewall live up to
the standards (dubious as they may be), but I also want to do my due
diligence and see if I can't configure my server to have more say in which
client ports in connect to. Once I can do that, the remote user can more
easily configure his firewall to behave.

Undoubtedly. (Which by the way is why the fix for all the current FTP
problems,
IMHO, is to enforce passive mode FTP which exposes the servers but saves the
clients.)
