Passive mode in Tru64 ftp client

Managers,

My Alpha is behind a firewall which only allows Passive Mode ftp requests.

I can get through easy enough with PC software, so I know the server I am going to supports it.

How do I invoke passive mode transfers under Tru64 from the command line.

I have tried

# ftp ftpserver
login: anonymous
password: my e-mail

ftp> quote PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (206,137,36,133,16,69).

which looks very promising, but then

ftp> ls
500 Illegal PORT command.

leaves me unsure what to do.

I suspect I have put the remote ftp server into PASSIVE mode, but the ftp client under Tru64 is not set right.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It is a pain to have double transfer everything.
