    How do I disable vsFTPd passive mode?

    I need to download some files from my host. Their FTP server only allows connections from within their network so I am having to use vsFTPd on my server's command line to download the files. I have never used vsFTPd before.

    Presently vsFTPd is defaulting to passive mode. My host specifically says NOT to use passive mode and thus I am unable to connect to their server.

    How do I temporarily disable vsFTPd's passive mode?

          This is not a GUI desktop app.

          It is a command line tool running on my server.

              LOL, figured it out...

              ftp> passive

              toggles passive mode on or off.

              That was easy
