Notes on FTP servers

vsFTPd - in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

      # To set passive only mode
      pasv_enable=YES 
      pasv_min_port=30000
      pasv_max_port=60000

      # To set active only mode
      pasv_enable=no

---------

pureFTPd

     To set passive only mode:  -p30000:50000

      To force active mode:   -N

Link: Added: This issue depends JBESB-1616

We also have a doc change to make:

		       <!-- send notification to FTP server by way of file transfer -->
                       <target class="NotifyFTP">
		         <ftp URL="ftp://username:passwd@servername/tmp" filename="foo.txt" passive="true"/>
		       </target>

The passive="true|false"   clause is new.

Mark found a problem: The FTP Notify in the GA bits always assumes server is in active mode

Steps to recreate the failure:

a. Set client firewall port range to permit traffic on ports 10-20, server port 21, 30000-60000 open
   Set FTP server to active only mode (for pureFTPd - force active mode with -N CLI option)
   Run notifications QS
   It should fail as server will attempt to open data connection back to client on a random unprivileged port (active mode)

b. Set client firewall port range to permit traffic on ports 30K-60K, server port 21, 30000-60000 open
   Set FTP server to active only mode (for pureFTPd - force active mode with -N CLI option)
   Run notifications QS
   It will succeed - server opens data connection back to client (active mode) - use netstat to confirm ports in use by FTP

Verified in CP01 - still need to add the passive= clause to the docs.
