Hi,

I think it is "quote ACTI"

[Oguz Kutlu Asik]

Or

quote PASV on
quote PASV off

['chris']

thanks, but it doesn't work:

ftp> quote pasv on
500 'PASV on': Invalid number of parameters
ftp> quote pasv off
500 'PASV off': Invalid number of parameters
ftp> quote ACTI
500 'ACTI': command not understood

Hi,

I checked again, and it seems windows command line ftp doesn't support toggle between passive mode and active mode. For unix systems, "passive" command can be used to achieve that.
