Because of the longer legacy for FreeBSD, its default FTP client uses the older mode of operation. We could discuss the relative merit of each default choice. My opinion is that PASV is a better default for the modern internet since it enables more systems and most modern servers support it. chris __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
