rikytik is an unknown quantity at this point
I am trying out an ftp setup behind a router and was not allowing passive mode. Does that provide problems for ftp clients to stay connected?

What is the reason to use Passive Mode (PASV) ? I've read about it in the faq's around and in this forum, but I still haven't understood clearly the need for this mode.

Is it true that it is less secure that disallowing it?
