I'm trying to use mirror to set up an ftp mirror. However, I'm having trouble getting the data. I'm behind a firewall so I set "passive_ftp=true" in mirror.defaults. I have tried this with and without the firewall rules in place. The results do not vary. Of note is the failure to enter passive mode. See below for "Cannot open pasv ftp". This probably explains why the LIST fails. What is causing this failure to enter passive mode? What options do I have? cheers. Here is a slightly condensed version of what I'm getting: [root@ns:/usr/local/mirror] # ./mirror -n packages/ftp.au.freebsd.org lchat.pl: using hardwired in network constantants at lchat.pl line 90package=fb-rel ftp.au.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases -> /var/ftp/FreeBSD/releases ftp timeout set to 300 Scanning local directory /var/ftp/FreeBSD/releases /var/ftp/FreeBSD/releases no such directory - creating it Connecting to ftp.au.freebsd.org 220- 220- Welcome to Mirror.AARNet.EDU.AU in Australia 220- 220 Mirror.AARNet FTP server ready. login as anonymous ---> USER anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password. ---> PASS <somestring> 230- 230- Welcome to Mirror.AARNet.EDU.AU in sunny Brisbane, located at the 230- Prentice Centre, University of Queensland, Australia. ****[stuff snipped] 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. ---> REST 0 350 Restarting at 0.
