Long: ftp-pasv Help: Use PASV/EPSV instead of PORT Protocols: FTP Added: 7.11.0 See-also: disable-epsv --- Use passive mode for the data connection. Passive is the internal default behavior, but using this option can be used to override a previous --ftp-port option. If this option is used several times, only the first one is used. Undoing an enforced passive really isn't doable but you must then instead enforce the correct --ftp-port again. Passive mode means that curl will try the EPSV command first and then PASV, unless --disable-epsv is used.
