I don't think it needed NT4 specifically (Topher, which Windows version
did you use?), but it clearly needed a NAT-free connection to the target.
The proprietary closed source Weendoze software in question implements
its own ad hoc FTP client to do its dirty deed, and this ad hoc FTP
client uses PORT, not PASV.  It just hasn't been designed with NAT in
mind, and design blemishes which can't be fixed are what closed source
proprietary software is all about.

But I thought the whole point of Weendoze consulting was to help users
who are stuck with shitty proprietary closed source software which can't
be fixed to comply with standards?  Weendoze people are paid to work
around limitations which can't be fixed properly, aren't they?
