- kstrauser 1y agoThat’s a built-in feature of FTP that doesn’t require server support. Edit: Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_eXchange_Protocol#Technical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_eXchange_Protocol#Technic... 1. You connect to servers A and B. 2. Tell B to receive a PASV transfer. It replies with the IP address and port it's receiving on. 3. Tell A to send to that address and port. This is documented in RFC 959, starting with "In another situation a user might wish to transfer files between two hosts, neither of which is a local host."
