>Description:
libftpio dertermines whether ftp is to be passive by seeing if
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set.
ftp determines whether ftp is to be passive by seeing is
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set and not eq to "no".
One effect: fetch, which uses libftpio, will ftp passively and ftp will
ftp actively whenever FTP_PASSIVE_MODE="NO", which is LAME!
>How-To-Repeat:
I am not sure. I am behind a gateway/firewall which has trouble with
passive FTP. My advice is: get yourself in a sitch where passive does
not work right and then compare the results of fetch and ftp.
>Fix:
apply the following patch to /usr/src/lib/libftpio/ftpio.c
> diff ftpio.c ftpio.c.old
