Hi,

Problem Description: 2 PCs, both up to date Cygwin DLL, one running
inetutils 1.5, the other running inetutils 1.3.2, plus a third
computer (probably not important, but MacOSX).

The PC with inetutils 1.5 has a largish (215MB) file on it, which I
want to get from the OSX computer:

ant@mac (.../ant/Downloads) % ftp xp-ant1
Connected to xp-ant1.
220-
220- Welcome to xp-ant1...
220 xp-ant1 FTP server (GNU inetutils 1.5) ready.
331 Password required for ant.
230- Fanfare!!!
230- You are successfully logged in to this server!!!
230 User ant logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> cd /mnt/downloads
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get BCUpdateXP.exe
'EPSV': command not understood.

150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'BCUpdateXP.exe' (226020663 bytes).

I copied the file over to the other PC running inetutils 1.3.2, and
then ftp-ing in from my Mac and getting it worked fine:

...

226 Transfer complete.
226020663 bytes received in 00:22 (9.78 MB/s)


Had a read through the docs but couldn't see anything that would
specifically address this; I'm not using tcp-wrappers as I'm in a
secure environment, the inetutils 1.5 ftp server machine is XP SP2
running in VMware (as is the other running 1.3.2), its a fresh
install.

Can anyone else reproduce this? I can easily downgrade the server to
1.3.2 so no great problem, but it would be good to solve this.

Thanks
