Setting up FTP in passive mode is something you do in the device running the FTP service, generally your fileserver.

But other app such as GoodSync have the active mode option. After opening, I can access the FTP that I can't access before setting.
So why can't FFS increase the option of active mode? After all, GoodSync is not free software.

I know it an old question but this configuration it's independent of the ftp configuration, the server may have active mode and passive mode active and in the client you can opt which one to use. The mode in which the ftp is consumed by curl can be changed with CURLOPT_FTPPORT if set then use active mode. In some case (like mine) then network block passive ftp connection but no active. Can you add the functionality in then next release?
