/PASSIVE=option Controls whether the FTP client or server initiates the data connection. If you do not specify this qualifier, the Internet Protocol appropriate value is used. The values are: OFF for IPv4, ON for IPv6. The following table describes the /PASSIVE options: Option Description OFF The FTP server initiates the data connection. ON The FTP client initiates the data connection. (default) This is often used where a firewall between the FTP client and server prevents the server from making an outbound connection. ON is the default value only if /PASSIVE is specified. The underlying TCP/IP Networking product must recognize this qualifier and must support FTP passive in order for this qualifier to have an effect. Note that the /PASSIVE qualifier is equivalent to the FTP PASV command.
