This is partly correct. In /etc/login.conf FTP_PASSIVE_MODE is set to YES, but running ftp(1) without changes in the environment shows that: giorgos@gothmog[10:27]/home/giorgos$ ftp ftp> pass Passive mode: off; fallback to active mode: off. ftp> epsv4 EPSV/EPRT on IPv4 off.

The man page for FTP says that it is not in passive mode by default. This is incorrect. the client defaults to passive mode operation. Fix: Change the above so say that the default is on. How-To-Repeat: Lines 620-1 of ftp.1 read: passive Toggle passive mode. If passive mode is turned on (default is off), the ftp client will send a PASV command for all data
