Understand ACTV mode and the PORT command
- by Ramy
Hello,
I'm the part time FTP server administrator (with no real full-time admin). We currently only allow ACTV mode connections. Some of our clients have had issues with this but for the most part they've been ok using ACTV. For the few who aren't, we've been able to push the data over to their servers from ours.
there is one client in particular however who is currently having trouble. He is using file-zilla and issuing a PORT command.
First, does using the PORT command imply that you are in ACTV mode?
Second is there a way in FileZilla to explicitly change to ACTV mode?
Thanks for the help,
_Ramy
