[CentOS] vsftp question ?

[Alain Spineux]

PASIVE vs ACTIVE depend on witch one, the server or the client will
open the DATA connection first, this is the client that decide. This
is useful if the client is behind a firewall
not able to make connection tracking on ftp sessions.

Use sftp instead of ftp. sftp is already running if sshd is running.
