Hello!

I've used Windows  ftp.exe from Microsoft. It works
through NATD. According to FTP spec (RFC 959) daemon
should make data connection to user-DTP, but it is
impossible through NAT. Isn't it?

It seems that client works according to FTP spec...
I've logged outgoing (command) session using tcpdump.

USER sergey
PASS here is my pass word
PORT 192,168,1,2,12,13
NLST
PORT 192,168,1,2,12,14
NLST
QUIT

Can someone be nice enough to explain me details.

Thanks, Sergey.
