 WS> I notice that some FTP servers "lock" when they go into
PASV "passive
 WS> voice" mode, and do not send a file list, accept commands, or anything
 WS> else, perhaps retuning to a simulateous "data channel" that isn't
 WS> there? I have seen some FTP's do a RETR file retrieve and old ones do
 WS> an FGET. There definitely appears to be at least two
"flavors" of FTP
 WS> out there! Some boards run two flavors of FTP server on different
 WS> sevice ports even!  (Hmm... I wonder if you could use Telnet to "telnet
 WS> in" on the FTP port, login, toggle PASV, then logout, i.e. create a
 WS> PASV "telnet toggle script".  I wonder if that might
help.  Then you
 WS> could issue active commands without the server locking up on you?)

The possibilities are endless
