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.

Is is PASIVE ftp?
in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, I found below line. What should I do for below line?
# Make sure PORT transfer connections originate from port 20 (ftp-data). connect_from_port_20=YES
Should I COMMENT it out? I need a very secure ftp service.
YOUR ideas?
