I thought this problem was before the other ports come in, but I wasn't paying attention.
You such be able to login, and type "pasv" into an ordinary ftp client (not crap like the old MS-DOS version), before any funny business happens, otherwise passive mode wouldn't work, and passive mode always works ;) (if both ends support it).
(Okay "always" is a bit strong, I've seen it fail on Windows, but that isn't exactly surprising, but generally passive mode is straightforward enough that once you get started you finish). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
