Try this:
[4:04am]~-112# env | grep FTP
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES
[4:04am]~-113# grep FTP /etc/login.conf
:setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\
ie: ftp(1)'s default is off, but the OS default configuration is to set it
to on.
This is actually a good thing, for what it's worth. It means you have a
fighting chance of getting out through a firewall easily.
