Re: ftp problem

I believe that passive if off by default. but
you would type the word passive.

# ftp
ftp> passive

By tyoing passive it will turn the mode off or on.

Re: ftp problem

According to the ftp man page passive is off by default. I can't remember off the top of my head but there is a config file you should be able to specify this in /etc/default/ftpd or something like that. If I can remember I'll let you know.

Re: ftp problem

As said above, to disable from the ftp client, use pass command, to disable from FTP server, see man ftpaccess, pasv-allow.
