cURL Active FTP Download
Hello,

I know this is probably a very silly question for most but how to do I force curl to do active FTP downloads?


Thank you
Dallas

- this is an excerpt from 'man curl'. Changes may have been done, depending on the version, in mine (7.17.1) there are few new things.

Thank you, I had tried that and thought that I must be doing something wrong because I was hoping the active transfer would have a faster download speed than passive but they appear to be the same.
