Hi, Apparently I am in need of some elucidation about the operation of the standard NetBSD ftp client. I understand the protocol is not well suited for the ubiquitous firewall/NAT setups, but nevertheless... The server is running FileZilla server on a Windows 2000 server box behind a BT firewall, which has been opened. NAT is present. The clients are also behind firewalls. Here is the log (with blanked addresses): % ncftp3 -u ftpguest xyzzyx.xyz NcFTP 3.2.1 (Jul 29, 2007) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/). Connecting to 123.123.213.213...

FileZilla Client works fine. NetBSD /usr/bin/ftp doesn't - in both passive (the default in the first instance) and forced active mode. There is a wait of about half a minute before the message 'ftp: Poll timeout...' appears. The same is true for both FreeBSD 6.0 and OpenBSD 4.2 ftp clients. I also tested ncftp 3.1.9 on FreeBSD, which again worked - after some timeout trying PASV it switched to PORT and was fine afterwards. Any ideas? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- /dev/random says: I don't suffer from insanity.
