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?
