Description Tor Klingberg 2005-04-20 07:55:25 UTC

I suggest that we make passive ftp the default ftp behaviour in wget. This is already so in Fedora and Debian, and it seem like it will become wget default soo too. See this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wget@sunsite.dk/msg07267.html

Emerge also calls wget with --passive-ftp to set this manually.

The actual change is easy:
In /etc/wget/wgetrc change
#passive_ftp = off
into
passive_ftp = on

Reproducible: Always

Tor, sorry for the delay.  I've just finished cleaning out the wget ebuilds, etc.  I'll be putting in a revision bump which changes the default to passive, and fixes some other things (patchset from Mandrake), shortly.
