Hi,

I had a little trouble turning off Passive FTP under FreeBSD 4.8. Fixed
OK by creating /usr/local/etc/wgetrc after looking at the source
code.... but here are two small ideas to make things easier:

1. Perhaps wget should obey the setting of environment variable
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE (="NO" or "YES")?

2. Perhaps wget should implement:
   --passive-ftp=on
   --passive-ftp=off
as well as plain "--passive-ftp" (same as "-passive-ftp=on")


Many thanks!
