With FTP_PASSIVE:TRUE, there is a problem accessing FTP servers
with multiple DNS addresses. As an example, try ftp.netscape.com.
The following patch is so far completely untested, but looks obvious;
note that the string constructed in 'command' wasn't being used
at all.
* In passive ftp mode (FTP_PASSIVE:TRUE), use the IP address from
the server's response for the data connection, rather than doing
another lookup of the hostname.
Please test before using.
