    Um... unless I'm being a total blockhead on this one I think he's
    referring to the sort of FTP that is not active and is generally more
    easily allowed through a firewall... in otherwords one that doesn't open
    up a new port for each stupid FTP transaction (like LS for example...).
    Active FTP is just crap.
