Odd FTP Problems

[Ben Duncan]

Ahhh sooo, little grasshopper .. Problem is PASSIVE VS. PORTS ...

Passive mode connects to an arbitrary HIGH port number. The PORT
command FORCES it to use 21 as the "COMMAND" and port 20 as the
data side. You might want to try to see if the ftp command can be issued with
a "PORT" instead of passive.

I am running ino this very same thing, as we speak, over some Linksys
BEFVP41 VPN Routers.
