• Active mode—The FTP server initiates the TCP connection.
• Passive mode—The FTP client initiates the TCP connection.
You can use this command multiple times to change between active and passive modes.
This command is mainly used together with a firewall to control FTP session establishment between
private network users and public network users.
Examples

ftp> passive

Parameters
localfile: Specifies the name of the local file to be uploaded.
remotefile: Specifies the file name for saving the uploaded file on the FTP server.
Usage guidelines
You can perform this operation only after you log in to the FTP server.
To upload a file in the working directory accessed by the ftp command, the localfile argument must
specify a file name such as a.cfg.
To upload a file in some other directory, the localfile argument must specify the target directory plus the
file name such as flash:/subdirectory/a.cfg. Otherwise, the command fails to take effect.
