You may be right and I'm confused. I don't have much experience with
IPv6. I just thought that any unicast IPv6 host, even IPv4-mapped IPv6
host, can communicate with any other unicast IPv6 host, including
non-IPv4-mapped IPv6 host. Could you please suggest a good
comprehensive article on the Web about IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses and
their usage? By the way, why you don't do the address type test in a
daemon mode of ftpd?
