Although other ftp clients work, curl
ftp://ftp.gnutls.org/pub/crypto/gnutls/devel/gnutls-0.9.97.tar.gz fails
because curl tries to use the EPSV command. EPSV returns a port to
connect to (when I tried, this port was 32225), but connection setup to
that port times out, presumably because a firewall somewhere doesn't
know that it should forward the syn packet.
The ftp control connection transcript, reconstructed by ethereal:
...
250 OK. Current directory is /pub/crypto/gnutls
EPSV
229 Extended Passive mode OK (|||32225|)
If it's possible, could you pass this along to someone who can fix
this, either by disabling EPSV-style downloads at the server (I assume
curl would respond to an error message by falling back to PASV) or by
telling the firewall to pass the pureftpd-configured port range for
passive downloads to the ftp server? Making curl work is somewhat
important for use with Fink -- although it will try other mirrors
first, it would be good if the master server was available as a
fall-back.
