Subject: Why doesn't this FTP work with Linux?
The output from the ones that work have the same output like any other
FTP server. The only difference is that firewall. I don't see how
using PASV would affect the routing. I'm working on a PHP upload script
right now.
Basically the end user is just going to upload files. The problem is
some of these files are >75Meg in size.
