Subject: [gentoo-user] NCFTP in passive mode...
Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2005 17:23:52 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42F8D898.7010305@shic.co.uk> (raw)

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong.

I'm behind a NAT box which precludes my use of active-FTP but not 
passive.  I have verified this both with Windows based FTP clients and 
with the latest unmasked "vanilla" ftp from portage.  When I try to use 
ncftp, however, I run into difficulties:

NCFTP also fails when I leave passive at the default "optional" (which 
allegedly automatically determines if passive ftp is required) - and 
when I set passive to on, off or optional in .ncftp/prefs_v3.

Does ncftp work in passive mode for other people?
