[SLE] non-interactive anonymous ftp 500 Bad EPRT protocol

[Steven T. Hatton]

This may be a firewall issue, but I really don't know. I used to be able to
fetch Mozilla nightly builds with the following command. It hasn't worked
for a long time. You can see what is happening. Does anybody know what's up
with this? Sure, I can get it a bunch of different ways, but I believe this
was should work.

~/mozilla # ftp -ai

I can successfully retrieve that URL with Mozilla, wget and via whatever
software handles link retrieval from within KMail. Oh, and "ftp -ai"
works, too.

I think the problem is at or near your end of things.
