Description of problem: EPSV and EPRT commands are now supported, (though they still don't show up on the man page's list of supported commands) but there is no way to disable them without also disabling the PASV and PORT commands. This "bug report" is really a request for a feature: a configuration option to disable support for RFC2428. Many FTP proxies and firewalls, including freebsd's ipfilter and Cisco's PIX firewall, don't yet have support for the EPSV command. Some FTP clients (FreeBSD's, for one) begin with an EPSV command and then fall back to the PASV command if EPSV isn't supported by the FTP server. Unfortunately, if the client is going through a proxy or firewall that doesn't support EPSV, the FTP server may give a positive response to the EPSV command, but the firewall will block the client from connecting to the data transfer port, resulting in broken FTP service. If I could get my FTP server to refuse EPSV commands, the clients would fall back to using the PASV command which my firewall understands. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): wu-ftpd 2.6.2-5
