Passive mode
Passive FTP (or PASV)
Freely accessible FTP servers around the globe have recently switched exclusively to passive mode, and so for completeness, we are also going to learn this other mode of operation.

These servers (any many others) will not communicate correctly in active mode anymore due to the firewall installed on the FTP server.
Passive FTP (or PASV)
There are two modes of operation for FTP:
1. Active mode, in which the server connects back to the
client. Two commands: (IPv4: PORT), (IPv6, IPv4: EPRT) 2. Passive mode, where the server opens a port for the client to connect to. Two commands: (IPv4: PASV), (IPv6, IPv4:
TCP control connection, server port 21
FTP TCP data connection, FTP client server port 20 server
TWO PARALLEL TCP CONNECTIONS
Without additional action, active mode with a client-supplied port does not work through NATs or firewalls.

Passive FTP (or PASV, IPv4) Overview
Passive (or PASV)
The Passive mode client sends PASV commands to the FTP Server.
Passive mode FTP clients also start by establishing a connection to TCP port 21 on the FTP server to create the control channel.
When the client sends a PASV command over the command channel, the FTP server opens an ephemeral port (between 1024 and 5000) and informs the FTP client to connect to that port before requesting data transfer. As in Standard mode, the FTP client must send a new PASV command prior to each new transfer, and the FTP server will await a connection at a new port for each transfer.
Passive FTP (or PASV, IPv4) Overview
Passive (or PASV)
The Passive mode client sends PASV commands to the FTP Server.
Note: The built-in Windows FTP client only supports FTP active mode. On the other hand, the built-in Linux FTP client supports both active and passive mode of operations.

Firewall administrators may not want to use Passive mode FTP servers because the FTP server can open any ephemeral port number.
Many FTP servers are configured with an ephemeral port range of 1024 through 65535.
Firewall configurations that allow full access to all ephemeral ports for unsolicited connections may be considered unsecured.
