Looks like local has a broken ftp client, or > why is it trying to make a non passive connection?! What's non-passive about this? As I understand passive FTP to work is that the server passively waits for another connection, whereas in active mode it would actively try to connect to the server. When the client sent the PASV command, the server replied with socket to use: 23.286210 local -> remote FTP Request: PASV 23.309130 remote -> local FTP Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (212,117,207,139,5,175). That 5 and 175 encode the port to which the client should connect: 5*256 + 175 = 1455. Feel free to take a massive clue bat and whack me massively, but in the mean time, I still think something's fishy. -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debian.org> : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems do micro$oft's total cost of operation calculations include total cost of downtime?
