  transcript:

  TYPE A
  200 Command okay
  PASV
  500 You need to use a client supporting PRET (PRE Transfer) to use PASV
  PORT 12,217,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX
  200 Command okay
  LIST
  150 File status okay; about to open data connection.
  ABOR
  425 Connection timed out: connect
  500 No command handler for ?Ô?ABOR
  ftp_list: -30000 (state == GETTING_LIST)
  PWD
  257 "/" is current directory

  an error occurs during the get list command that fetch interprets as a lost connection. subsequently the retrieved folder list is empty and disconnected. does fetch 5 not support PRET? if not, are there plans to support it? thanks for a great product.

  Fetch does not support PRET (which is not a standard FTP command). I'll look at supporting it. In the meantime you should turn off your Mac OS X firewall -- that should let active mode transfers work.

  Thanks,
