This may have been covered before (searching the archives for 'ftp' wasn't such a hot idea :) Is there any way to stop the FTP client from either taking _ages_, or just dying stone dead (i.e. CTRL-\ is the only way out - forcing a core dump) when connecting through Firewalls that only allow Passive FTP? The moment you do an 'ls' or 'get' after having forgotten to do a 'pas' (to switch to passive mode) you suddenly find yourself unable to CTRL-C out of the FTP client - admittedly it does quit after around 5 minutes with "425 Can't build data connection: Connection timeout" - Or should I just be grateful we have a passive mode, unlike some other Win/NT versions? :) -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
