I sit behind an IP masqueraded host. When I use lynx to access normal http stuff, everything is fine but if I hit on any FTP links, the program simply hangs. I'm quite sure it is because the FTP being implemented by lynx is active instead of passive. Active FTP which depend on the port command do not work over ipmasq networks but passive does. Does anyone know if and how one can get lynx to use passive FTP instead? When I looked recently, I did not find anything in Lynx config or doc files on the subject. I could be wrong on my assumptions but I can go in with lftp and its default of passive mode and all is fine.
