In reference to a problem someone reported on the freebsd-mobile mailing list, I took a look at the handling of the FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable in libftpio. What I found was that it would use passive ftp based on if the environment variable was set or not and didn't acutally check it's value. I wrote a patch for it that makes it also consider the value of the variable. This will save some confusion for people that follow the login that since FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES seems to make ftp use passive mode that FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO should make it not use passive mode. This isn't the case with the current handling of it. Please take a look at the PR I put together bin/18103 and let me know if this is a good (enough) fix for the problem. The patch can aslo be found at: http://quake.nyct.net/~efutch/FreeBSD/ftpio.c.patch Sorry for the cross post. I'm not exactly sure what's the best mailing list for this.
