Mozilla 1.3b and 1.3f. Mac OS X. I'll have more platform and build data soon. STEPS: Click on link to ftp.sun.com OBSERVED: Status says "Beginning FTP transaction...", throber runs, tab says "Loading..." EXPECTD: Camino 0.7 immediately returns: 425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied. ANALYSIS: I telneted to the ftp control port, and got: PASV 425 Can't open passive connection: Permission denied.
CONFIRMED, Win98, Mozilla 1.3f.
OS: MacOS X → All
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Whiteboard: checklinux
CONFIRMED: mozilla 1.3f - linux

Summary: Connecting to PORT-only servers does not error → passive (PASV) rejections do not display error
If this helps, Mozilla appears to get the 425 error, and then immediately closes the connection followed by another connection attempt. But the error is permanent in this case, and it just loops endlessly.
This used to work, quick check in Camino 0.7 shows it shows the error.
Keywords: regression
According to the FTP message, ftp.sun.com will no longer be available starting sometime in July. Not to mention the fact that it says explicit permission is required to access that server. Removing from URL.
