Issues with passive mode

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’m having some issue with the passive mode for any operation that requires it (list, put, mkdir,…)

with node FTP client, I’m able to execute those operation but within an average of 10 seconds (and sometimes it even drop due to timeouts).
with a CLI ftp client (Linux default), once I’m connected:

230 User logged in, proceed
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (X,X,X,X,35,40)
ftp: connect: Invalid argument
ftp>

I tried both methods on my FTP server and they work without flaws or timeouts.

I tried to play with the pasv port range but without more success and I’m a bit dry on new idea to solve this. Did you experiment this? Have any idea?

Thank you
