Vim PASV FTP

Hello everyone, a recent update must have replaced the old "ftp" binary since vim won't go into PASV mode automatically for ftp-locations anymore.

Just to let you know:

[dezza@dezza ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/ftp
/usr/bin/ftp is owned by inetutils 1.6-3

I tried as stated here:
http://alecthegeek.wordpress.com/2007/0 … sive-mode/

g:netrw_ftp_cmd="ftp -p" to your ~/.vimrc

But since ftp -p is --prompt on my client, this won't help.

I also looked trough the docs of vim and found this command:
g:netrw_extracmd="passive"

But this should not be a default variable for vim, and I've tried setting this in my .vimrc

let g:netrw_extracmd="passive"
set g:netrw_extracmd="passive"

But none of this works ..

If I manually try doing $ftp this is what happens:

[dezza@dezza ~]$ ftp
ftp> open testserver.net 50099

But .. If you pop passive before listing ..
