I think you need to set passive on before you do any data transfers. I |
10 |
know that with my copy, ncftp will hang while waiting on a active |
11 |
transfer to finish. I normally have to terminate the program (CTRL-Z ; |
12 |
jobs -l ; kill $PID). However, I've been able to set the passive option |
13 |
before I've transfered any files. |

You can also try "wget" if you know the file path, and just want to |
16 |
retreive a file. |
