Your ftp client went into passive mode. 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.

$ftp
