Hello,
I use my laptop with openbsd on our corporate network which is behind some 
third party firewalls.

Unfortunately, for me, the ftp client uses the "Extended Passive Mode" instead 
of (standard) "passive mode". Our third party firewalls, which I don't have 
access, does not handle extended passive mode correctly. I have to use "export 
FTPMODE=active" as "export FTPMODE=passive" still uses (standard) "passive 
mode" to be able to do a connection.

I'm not a programmer and have very few programmer knowledge. 
Is there a small hack I could apply to any of the /usr/src/usr.bin/ftp/* files, 
so that the default ftp mode is set to (standard) "passive mode"?

I don't want to use another ftp client, so I would really appreciate if you can 
tell me if there is small change I could apply to the ftp source files.

Many thanks!
Kind regards,
Didier
