Hi --
The linux ftp command implements passive mode as an option, and it seems to
work just fine, *if* you happen to know that you can turn it on with the
"pass" command.
This feature is not mentioned in the man page or the info page.
I checked the pages that came with the redhat 6.0 distribution. I also
checked some earlier versions, which seem to be the same.
Suggestion: Why not make passive mode the default? It's more likely to
work in the presence of firewalls.
More important suggestion: whatever way it is implemented, it ought to be
documented.
Thanks --- jsd
