Marc Singer just mentioned on another list that the Windows NT ftp
server doesn't support passive ftp. As this is broken according to
RFC 959 (dated October 1985 -- well before Microsoft knew what "LAN"
or "WAN" stood for) I don't feel much need to kludge my code to
make up for Microsoft's shortcomings. I suggest telling whoever bought
the NT box that NT doesn't speak TCP/IP and it needs to be replaced.
Sorry if this sounds too harsh, but there are interoperability standards
for a reason.
