https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-passive/m-p/3400387#M200708 Hi,<BR /><BR />I found one way to do it, but it isn't elegant. Create a .netrc file and define a macro to set the passive mode on. Something like this:<BR /><BR />&gt;cat .netrc<BR />machine myhost macdef init<BR />passive<BR /><BR /><BR />&gt;<BR /><BR />The 'init' macro runs at login and sets passive mode on at the start of an ftp session.<BR /><BR />JP<BR /> Thu, 14 Oct 2004 14:45:12 GMT John Poff 2004-10-14T14:45:12Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-passive/m-p/3400386#M200707 Is there a way to put HP-UX 11.0 "FTP" into passive mode permanently? According to the MAN pages passive mode by default is set to off.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR />Doug Thu, 14 Oct 2004 14:22:37 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-passive/m-p/3400386#M200707 Doug_85 2004-10-14T14:22:37Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-passive/m-p/3400387#M200708 Hi,<BR /><BR />I found one way to do it, but it isn't elegant.
