ruby FTP passive mode error

Question

I have tried to use FTP with passive mode:

require 'net/ftp'
ftp =  Net::FTP.new
ftp.passive = true
ftp.connect('mydomain.com')
ftp.login
filenames = ftp.nlst

But have got error:

Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)

Though with active mode it works fine!

I use ruby 1.9.3. When I set debuge mode:

ftp.debug_mode = true

I see:

 **ftp.connect('mydomain.com')**
connect: mydomain.com, 21
get: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] ----------
get: 220-You are user number 3 of 50 allowed.
get: 220-Local time is now 11:43. Server port: 21.
get: 220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
get: 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.
=> nil
irb(main):103:0> ftp.login

irb(main):104:0> filenames = ftp.nlst
put: TYPE A

put: PASV

put: TYPE I
get: 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)

Also I have found out, that in function transfercmd from Net::FTP host is used, different from my domain ip address! Maybe it is a private ip address? What is wrong here?

Answer 1

I have overwritten method makepasv from Net::FTP and it works!

module Net
  class FTP
    def makepasv # :nodoc:
      if @sock.peeraddr[0] == "AF_INET"
        #host, port = parse227(sendcmd("PASV")) #WAS!
        host, port = parse229(sendcmd("EPSV"))
      else
        host, port = parse229(sendcmd("EPSV"))
      end
      return host, port
    end
  end
end
