There's a catch here: traditionally, active mode was the default and passive mode was explicitly enabled by setting FTP_PASSIVE_MODE or using the -p switch on the command line. Now, passive mode is the default unless FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set to NO, but there's no way to turn it off on the command line. One might argue that passive mode is quite likely to work while active mode is quite likely not to work, so we err on the side of caution, but I still dislike the fact that the only way to force active mode is to set an environment variable.
