PassiveMode Property

Enables or disables passive transfer mode.

Syntax

__property bool PassiveMode = { read=FPassiveMode, write=FSetPassiveMode };

Default Value

true

Remarks

The transfer mode (active or passive) regulates which party is responsible for opening a listening port for data connections. Where passive mode is used, the FTP server is responsible for listening for data connections. In active mode, the listening port is opened by the client.

In today's Internet of firewalls it is a de-facto standard to use the passive mode for FTP transfers.
