More fundamentally, why would I need to use passive mode? I have looked around a bit, and it appears to be a work-around to be able to ftp from behind a firewall. But I'm not behind a firewall, unless I set something up terribly badly or I misunderstand. This is a standalone debian box and I connect to the net, as I mentioned earlier, using dip to connect with a cslip emulator, slirp, on the SunOS box at sfsu.edu. Where in this chain is there likely something like a firewall?
