data connection instead of using the address on which the control
connection request is received.

In an NFS-mounted file system, which is full, the ftp(1) get or mget
command fails without displaying any error message. Also, in some cases
in a non-NFS mounted system, which is full, ftp(1) get or mget command
fails without displaying any error message. As a result, unreported data
loss may occur.
