 May I inquire what FTP client this is? It seems to be severely broken.
 Your transcript says:

That's the basic ftp client, that comes with every unix system since ftp was invented... Judging by the man page, it's based on the BSD4.2 client, with some enhancements. I'm a bit puzzled at your question - don't you have the same command in your machine? I never encountered a system that didn't have it.


The problem, I remind you, exists also in ncftp, curl and wget, but they do their own tricks and I wanted to use a simple client.

I added a tcpdump of a similar session done using ncftp, and the ncftp trace as well. As you can see, ncftp does a lot of stuff to check the target server's capabilities before the relevant things. Also, I couldn't run a port attempt after the pasv attempt, because ncftp disconnects after the first failure, as you can see in the trace.
