Anyone know how to select passive mode using the 'ftp' binary?  I tried "ftp -a" but 
that didn't work.  Every time I try an "ls"
command I get...

425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused

Without the "-a" option gives me a..

"200 PORT command successful."
but it just hangs.

Any advice?

Cheers,


Ben K

Hi,

FTP does not need icmp to work. Your firewall might block ftp-data
connections established by the server. Try using active or passive ftp-data
connections which your ftp-client.
