Hi all
i am using ftp commands to transfer files between local machine and
ftp server.
I am sending 'PASV' and 'PORT' commands to set passive or active
mode.I am providing option to user whether he want active mode or
passive mode.
Is there any other alternative by which i know that whether that PC is
providing passive mode or active mode or not.
Please help
Thanks in advance
