when you "quote pasv", that tells the server to enter passive mode,
but not the client. what actually happens then is probably
"implementation dependant". for me (win95 command line -> netbsd) the
client just sends a port command and the server swaps back
automagically. ymmv.

the client needs to support passive as well. did you try the
"passive" command...that the win95 command line client doesn't seem to
have...oh well. any unix should have it tho.
