Digging through the cvsweb I found the following: ----------------------------------------- 1.74 Wed Feb 3 22:25:41 1999 UTC by asami Diffs to 1.73 Remove commented out definition of FTP_PASSIVE_MODE, it is (and has always been) an environment variable and doesn't belong here. Pointed out by: cnh@ems.mindspring.net, sanpei@yy.cs.keio.ac.jp ----------------------------------------- So it's gone. I don't think it hurts to do things this way however.
