The reason it went to passive mode is because the /etc/login.conf file is setting an environment variable ((FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES) to turn on passive mode. To disable it, run ftp or fetch under sh as follows:
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO ftp ... FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO fetch ... or change FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to NO in the "default" section of /etc/login.conf, and then use cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf to rebuild the login.conf.db.
