FTP Attempts

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Mark,

If Todd were using active ftp, my first question would be "some 
reason why you're using active mode instead of passive"? I 
believe, default mode should be passive, because you can just 
keep port 21 open and don't need to worry about all other ports 
that would have to be open if active ftp were used. Only if the 
server makes

It makes perfect sense to combine port 21 with passive mode. In 
fact, there is no need to specify a port if 21 is used, because 
it is the default port.

I just thought I should say this explicitly, since there has 
been so much confusion about it on this list, lately.

Bes regards,

Mark
