The -p flag sets passive on, so I see no way to start the client with passive off. Other than giving the PASV command once it is started. I have one host that is different from any others I use. That host won't work with ange-ftp. It does work with the command line ftp client if I switch off passive mode. So... What is the easiest way to switch off passive mode when using ange-ftp? That is, how can I pass a command to my ftp client when calling it with ange-ftp? None of the M-x ange-ftp- completions look like they do that. Currently, calling ange-ftp on this particular client just hangs and never gets to a password prompt. /ftp:reader@MY_HOST:/ Just hangs. That same syntax works on all other hosts I've tried.
