Hi,

I can't figure out how to ftp my adsl router in linux.

Here's what happens:

===========================================
[joel ~]>ftp router-name
Connected to router-name (router-ip).
220 ZyxelRTR FTP version 1.0 ready at Tue Aug 12 20:14:03 2003
Name (router-name:joel): root
331 Enter PASS command
Password:
230 Logged in
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
500 Unknown command 'pasv'
Passive mode refused.
===========================================

Is there a way to prevent ftp from even trying passive mode ? Funnily
enough, it worked from my friend's windoze laptop (because it didn't try
PASV).

I've googled a bit, but didn't find much about this.

Thanks
Joël
