 Passive FTP: To minimize the security concerns of connecting from a server to a

a client program starts to connect, it will notify the server to activate Passive Mode.
About Passive FTP
Passive mode FTP can be used to overcome the problem of active mode FTP being
blocked by firewalls. Passive FTP makes the FTP client establish all connections to the
FTP server, as opposed to the web host supplying the return port. Firewalls typically
allow passive FTP connections without requiring additional configuration information.
