Hello List,

I've always assumed that the command-line FTP on an HP3000 would only support Passive FTP connections. The 'passive on' or 'passive off' are, according to FTP's Help, supposed to set Passive or Active. However, to set the 'Active' state, you first have to have a connection, and my Open command is failing before I even get to log in. 

I suspect the remote site has recently changed to require Active, since this job has worked for several years. 
I tried connecting with FileZilla on my PC, and the 'Active' or 'Default' setting works but 'Passive' fails. 

Any possible way to get the HP to use 'Active' from the command line/Job?

Thank you in advance,
Connie Sellitto
