As far as I know, passive mode means that instead of using a fixed port for the
data connection of FTP, the client and server negotiates a "random" port for the
data connection. Some firewalls require this form of FTP, as leaving the FTP
ports open is a security risk. And passive mode is not windows specific. I use
Linux.
I will try in PORT mode instead.
