Excel Add-In for FTP

Build 25.0.9434

Passive

Specifies whether the provider uses passive mode for FTP connections.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property determines whether the add-in directs the FTP server to operate in passive mode.

If this property is set to true, the add-in sends the PASV command to the server. In passive mode, all connections are initiated by the client, which helps avoid firewall restrictions that block incoming server connections to high-numbered ports.

If this property is set to false, the add-in uses the PORT command, allowing the server to initiate data connections back to the client.

Passive mode is recommended when the client is behind a firewall or on a network that blocks incoming connections.
