#15 Use passive transfer for FTP upload of backup archives

[Anonymous]

As I had a problem with the upload of my archive files
to the backup server using FTP I discovered that the
connection to the FTP server does not work very well
from my server when not using passive transfer in my
FTP client (I think it is a problem with my firewall
that is very restrictive). After I modified reoback.pl
to use passive transfer too, the backup and upload
worked just fine.
So I suggest to put an option in the config file so the
user can select to use an passive FTP connection.

In fact the change is very simple: Just add Passive => 1
when the new ftp connection is created in reoback.pl:
...
if ( $config{"rbackuptype"} eq "FTP" ) {
$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $config{"remotehost"}, Debug => 0,
Passive => 1 ) or
die ( "Unable to connect to remote host! : $!\n" );
...
