- Or, is it hard to convert FTPSocket to do active transfers?
Mark, It is very easy to do active transfers. I had to go to extra work in FTPSocket to make it passive, so we could use it from behind the firewall at Disney. In active mode, the client obtains a port, tells the server, and the server opens a connection to it. In passive mode, the client asks the server what port it wants to use on the server. The server says a number, and the client opens a port to the server. The client then issues a put or a get.
But a better solution is to find a Mac FTP server that does passive. Squeak could be such a server with a little work.....
