--Sig_/77qU.+OSP7ZSI7qVKYHCr/M Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The two main tools most users appear to use for FTP, viz ftp and firefox, do not work well with ftp-proxy any more. While ftp can be configured to work, firefox cannot. The problem is that ftp-proxy only supports active mode connections and firefox only supports passive ones. Ftp, itself, defaults to passive (or even epsv4) and has to be configured to default to active. The port ftp/pftpx is an alternate FTP proxy which handles passive and epsv4 just fine. Is it time to deprecate ftp-proxy and elevate ftp/pftpx to the base system and recommend its use instead? -jr =20 --Sig_/77qU.+OSP7ZSI7qVKYHCr/M Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHYuhdls33urr0k4kRAugIAJ9McKwb0g4cSoyfM3oTTVsKeY9TUwCdHh7+ KUB9vkBAqFVG/8KDS6XB6rk= =TY5r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/77qU.+OSP7ZSI7qVKYHCr/M--
