Re: [TCLUG:9710] ip_masq_ftp

My Windows98 box works fine using passive ftp.  It must autodetect, because
the one-way cable modem I have forces the use of passive ftp (the cable
modem won't masquerade).  Some sites however, do not like passive ftp and
they will choke when you try to receive data (ls, put, send, get ... etc).
