Hi!

I'm rather newbie, so question probably is a silly one.

I cannot run ls command on FTP servers because passive mode doesn't
work, like this:

bsd:~> ftp ftp.lucky.net
Connected to ftp.lucky.net.
Name (ftp.lucky.net:igor): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (193,193,193,113,4,32)
ftp: connect: Operation timed out
ftp>

or even like this:
...
ftp> passive
Passive mode off.
ftp> passive on
Passive mode on.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (193,193,193,113,6,230)
ftp: connect: Operation timed out

What's wrong? What should I configure? FTP client, firewall or something
else?
From Win boxes I can get listings of FTP sites using any browser but not
ftp command line.

I run 4.0-STABLE. A friend of mine who installed and preconfigured the
box is unavailable now, so I have to struggle myself. I like the system
but too many questions still :-)
