Re: ftp not working

["Eric G . Miller" <egm2@jps.net>]

  Another person on this list was having a similar problem with his/her
  own machine.  If you're using the regular ftp client, you might try
  these steps first.

  ftp> open <whatever>
  ftp> username: <etc>
  ftp> password: <etc>
  Then:
  ftp> debug
  ftp> passive
  
  Seems the ftp client doesn't necessarily default to passive mode,
  though many set-ups, with firewalls or such, only work in passive
  mode.  That may be all you need to do.
