The common FTP client on many linux distros uses PASV by default.
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.
