AdjustPasvAddress Property

Enables or disables automatic adjustment of passive-mode addresses.

Syntax

 ftpclient.getAdjustPasvAddress([callback])
 ftpclient.setAdjustPasvAddress( adjustPasvAddress, [callback])

Default Value

TRUE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getAdjustPasvAddress([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setAdjustPasvAddress([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Occasional NAT'ed servers misbehave by returning local IP addresses in their PASV mode offers, which are not reachable from the outer network. Set this property to true to make the class enforce data connections to the same address as the control connection uses.

Note that sometimes (typically, with multi-faced FTP services aka FTP Clouds) you may need to disable this property to make the transfers work right.
