It is rather simple. All you need to do is, assuming your using a csh of
some kind including tcsh, "setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE" without the quotes
from the command line. Or set that same command in your .cshrc or .tcshrc
file. For further information on this "man fetch".

I hope I explained that fairly well. If not let me know :-)
