Hi,

You could have more by sending your email on the opensuse mailing lists

it stands for Extensive Passive Mode

I think you don't have to specify -p: ­this option has been deprecated
as ftp now tries to use passive mode by default, falling
back to active mode if the server does not support passive
connections.

Do you know to what kind of ftp server are you trying to connect?
(microsoft, proftpd, ...)

I copied below a script I'm using "agains" several ftp server
(microsoft and linux) and, well, I never had a problem

Regards,
