DOS does not directly support the PASV. Use QUOTE PASV

Subject: FTP to/from IBM i issues

I am having some issues using the DOS FTP client to send/receive files from
some IBM i systems. It seems to happen mainly when using a VPN. When I
FTP to/from my personal IBM i things work fine.

I had it happen this morning with 2 different clients, so I want to figure
this out. :)

I know I had this problem a few years ago and figured out what it was, but
now I can't recall the fix.

Scenario:

With DOS FTP, sign on. Works great. When I do a GET or PUT it just hangs
and never does anything.

I can use Filezilla and it works just fine, so I don't think it's any sort
of virus protection (all I run is Windows Security).
