Re: ssh forwarding and ftp

[KoReE <koree@ameth.org>]

This is even stranger output when using a slightly different command line:

squishy /home/koree > ssh -C -f -L 6021:euclid.mvn.net:21 -l koree
euclid.mvn.net sleep 5 ; ftp localho
st 6021
koree@euclid.mvn.net's password:
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.

I know this has something to do with the helper ports that ftp calls up
for data transfers, but I don't know how to make this work.  All of the
instructions I see around the net tell me to do little more than a command
line like the above, and make sure passive mode is on.

I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been."
