Long: ftp-pasv Help: Use PASV/EPSV instead of PORT Protocols: FTP Added: 7.11.0 See-also: disable-epsv Category: ftp Example: --ftp-pasv ftp://example.com/ --- 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 is not 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.
