Comment 1 Javier Montalvo Orús CLA 2007-02-20 09:29:05 EST 
Active mode is usually the default mode in FTP clients.
Comment 2 Javier Montalvo Orús CLA 2007-03-30 07:00:28 EDT 
Marking it as invalid for bug cleanup, as by default FTP clients connect using active mode.
This behaviour would be expected by the users and if passive mode is required it can be changed through the services properties.
Comment 3 Martin Oberhuber CLA 2013-05-16 08:53:32 EDT 
Marking as dup of bug 269442 .

The assumption that typical FTP clients use active mode is no longer true.
FileZilla client, for instance, explicitly _recommends_ passive mode.
And most servers ask for using passive mode, too.
