Chris,

The message you are reporting is the command that the local client is sending to the server. In actual terms, it sends a command PASV to the server using the first four numbers telling it to listen to the TCP conversation originating from me to the port (0 <= port <= 65535) specified by the last two numbers. In other words, it has sent a TCP SYN to the connection and is waiting for a SYN/ACK to complete the three-way handshake. Then, the data transfer can occur. And, it's still waiting for the SYN/ACK when you terminate it.
