One thing to watch out for, they intentionally broke passive to active
ftp fallback in this version (because someone complained about it leaking
the local IP address in Tails/torify), so connections to some ftp servers
behind misconfigured firewalls may start failing.

Untested but if people run into problems with this, --no-passive-ftp
should help.

(Why they didn't just add a "--no-active-ftp" counterpart and init file
option I don't know...)
