I am not sure I understand your point, so let ask this, what is the difference between active and passive ftp ?
Active ftp needs port 20/tcp (ftp-data) open in the _client_. The server, after getting the connection in his port 21, opens an outgoing connection to the client in port 20. There are thus two connections, one for control, another for data sent. Passive does not need that port open in the client. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDmYWhtTMYHG2NR9URAvNvAJ9fb4VltZCxYxW8HZVZZUAU3JVWsgCfZUqV LTX9xY6nd1Lla9F6sbQqpTU= =PrT6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
