--- Comment #6 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs at snkmail.com> ---
The default login class defined in login.conf set FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES long
before 6.4.

===========

Changed paths:
   M /head/etc/login.conf

Set FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES by default in the default login class.
===========

That wasn't removed from the default login class until 9.x (in 2012 months
after libfetch changed to passive by default - changes by des, so this info is
for the casual observer) and was not backported even to 8.x let alone 6.x.

So if it worked for the OP on 6.4, he must have changed his environment in some
non-default way.  That's all I was trying to say - hoping it might clear up the
mystery for the OP as to why he saw different behavior.
