Problem with FTP

[Diegox]

am using Cygwin and I want to copy a file with the ftp, to do that I wrote:
ftp 192.168.1.20
later I wrote my user and my password, but when I write:
put file_name
it say:
PORT/EPRT is disabled for security reasons.
please use PASV/EPSV instead ("passive on")
I wrote:
passive on
and it doesn't work it say "command invalid",

what can I do?

thanks

I'm not sure whther cygwin uses it's own FTP client or that of Windows. Here are the commands to use for passive FTP using the FTP CLI for both. One should work. I hope.

Linux

ftp> passive on

Windows

ftp> LITERAL PASV
