.RE

\fBGLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_DATA_IP\fR

.RE
.PP
\fBGLOBUS_FTP_CLIENT_SOURCE_PASV\fR
.RS 4
Configures sender side (source) instead of receiver side (destination) to open a data port and establishes the data connection from the receiver to the sender\&. By default the data connection is established from sender to receiver, but if the receiver is behind a NAT this doesn\(cqt work, because the receiver will communicate its own address instead of the external address of its gateway to the sender and its own address can\(cqt be reached directly from the sender\&.
