[Jetty-support] use passive FTP [was: Re: jetty-5.1.5rc2-all.zip contains 0 bytes on sourceforge downloads page]

Emanuel,

the link seems to be fixed, and the FTP/port != 21 issue can be
worked around by telling your FTP client not to use active FTP.
How to switch to passive FTP depends on your client.

Active FTP is what makes the server open the data channel on a port
on the client, which is negotiated on the control channel - this is
on server's port 21.
   Since firewalls usualy do not like the idea of servers
opening ports on clients (reversing the client/server model
altogether), someone invented passive FTP, which does it the other
way round.

HTH,

Heiner
