Minix FTP client - retrotruestory/M1DEV GitHub Wiki

Minix's ftp client and server are very simple. The FTP protocol evolved over time to support more features that are not supported with the old Minix ftp. My guess is that you are getting hung up on "Passive" transfer mode - which is probably the default for modern ftp servers. From Magic-1, ftp into your Windows or Linux system and then issue the command "PASSIVE". This is a toggle command, and we want passive mode to be turned off.
