ftp -- passive mode by default?
|

| I have a Solaris 8 box. In addition to the default /usr/bin/ftp , it also
has a /usr/local/bin/ftp , that I can't identify the origin of. (will
pkginfo take a file as an argument as identify what package it came from?)
We have a new firewall, and FTP must now be passive mode. /usr/bin/ftp
does not support passive mode, so I'm planning to replace it with
/usr/local/bin/ftp which does. However, I'm hoping there is a way to
force ftp to use passive mode by default, instead of telling everybody that
they have to issue the "passive" command every time they ftp.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Why not replacing it with lftp instead?
Then put
set ftp:passive-mode on
in
/etc/lftp.conf
(or /usr/local/etc/lftp.conf... depending on how you install it)
