FTP Passive mode to Active

External Since: Apr 21, 2005 Posts: 4

Hi.

I have a Visual Basic .NET class that makes an FTP connection in Passive
mode, and want to change it to Active mode.

I know that i must use PORT instead of PASV command. I have the IP address,
but don't know how to get Port number to make this connection. Can be always
20?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ray
