Windows FTP client passive

Have you ever tried to connect to an ftp server on a windows box?

I had to do it today and that thing doesn’t know the command: PASV !!

Well after surfing for while I found the workaround: just type:

LITERAL PASV

That bypasses the checks on the client and just sends the command to the server.

  1. It doesn’t work, the FTP server changes to Passive mode, but your FTP client stills on the active mode, thats happens to me, im lookin forward to solve this problem

  2. I’ll run some more tests, but so far it worked for me. I can download and upload files.
