Subject: PASV FTP description
Can anyone briefly describe the difference between PASV ftp vs. non-PASV
(regular? active?) with reguards to how the ports get assigned?
What considerations on firewalls (any brand) need to made when
distinguishing between the two?
The way I understand regular FTP, the client connects to server on port 21
then the server connects back to client on 20 with the data. Is this correct
and how is PASV different?
