I have been trying to conduct third-party transfers with FTP which 
requires that one of the two FTP daemons support the PASV command.
Many nodes on the network claim that they support the PASV command 
but when the other FTP daemon tries to connect to the inetaddr,port 
returned in the reponse of PASV, their is no process listening.

I have had these problems with these nodes in particular:
	nic.ddn.mil
	nnsc.nsf.net

Is anyone familiar with this problem? Does anyone know someone at these 
nodes that might be able to answer my questions?
