        IIRC, FTP sends its replies on TCP port 20.  I can't recall if
that is port 20 on the remote or local host, though.  A little
experimentation and you'll probably figure it out.  (hint:  netstat -nf
inet)

                                                Good luck,
                                                Jaime
