If I go through WWWOFFLE (2.9d, latest Debian), ftp gets stuck. # tcpflow -i ppp0 -C $ wwwoffle ftp://ftp.sri.com/risks/
220 Welcome to ftp.sri.com FTP service. USER anonymous 331 Please specify the password. PASS [email protected] 230- Property of SRI International. All access is monitored. 230 Login successful. CWD /risks 250 Directory successfully changed. TYPE A 200 Switching to ASCII mode. EPSV 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||31523|) [hangs] Whereas $ HOME=/tmp w3m ftp://ftp.sri.com/risks/ works great: 220 Welcome to ftp.sri.com FTP service. USER anonymous 331 Please specify the password. PASS anonymous@ 230- Property of SRI International. All access is monitored. 230 Login successful. TYPE I 200 Switching to Binary mode. PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (128,18,30,42,177,30) SYST 215 UNIX Type: L8 CWD /risks/ 250 Directory successfully changed. But there is nary a configuration item to tell it to use plain of Passive mode, not Extended Passive Mode. (All I note is anon-password = (string) The password to use for anonymous ftp (default determined at run time). Which one had better set, unless one "wants all one's beans spilt", as you might note above, and better yet, with a warning on the man page as to the detail.)
