issued by a client on host A, this command requests the

sends the host address and port that it is listening on to
host A. See “Third-Party File Transfers” in this section for
an example. Syntax: PASV)

is normally not required because the default server and

client ports are used. The FTP client must specify the address
as a concatenation of the 32-bit internet host address and
the 16-bit port address. The address must be divided into
8-bit fields (h1 through h4 and p1 and p2). Each field must
be transmitted as a decimal number (in ASCII
representation). The fields must be separated by commas.
