Subject: Re: FTP ports

Sorry, my suggestion may not have been that helpful as, despite the docs 
I linked, you don't seem to be able to get to the passive attribute 
which looks like it is only set when you have SOCKS_PROXY env var set. 
FTP uses more than one port, and you might have them firewalled. You 
could try using a SOCKS proxy.
