It is useful to permit passive connection behind firewall devices. This is what proftpd documentation says about it: --- quote --- The CCC command makes an encrypted control channel revert back to an unencrypted channel. This helps to solve data connection problems in situations where network equipment (such as firewalls, routers, NAT) peek at the control channel in order to see which ports open. By sending the CCC command and unecrypting the control channel, the network equipment can once again peek at the commands (i.e. PORT and EPRT) in the control channel. Since the CCC command must come after the client has logged in, the USER and PASS commands on the control channel will still be protected by SSL/TLS. --- /quote --- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
