It is easy to confuse the ftp_passive intent (what Amos have described and what Squid once supported) with the actual implementation in modern Squids: The ftp_passive option can be used to enable buggy code that does not work. IIRC, when adding FTP relaying, after wasting a lot of time looking for bugs in our new code, we realized that active Squid-origin mode has been badly broken for a while. As Amos has said, quality patches fixing that old bug are welcomed.
