I tried it the other way round , an ftp session between Mr ibook (ftp server) and Sir Acer (client) :
Code:
$ ftp 192.168.1.2
Connected to 192.168.1.2.
220 sanshiros-ibook.local FTP server (tnftpd 20061217) ready.
Name (192.168.1.2:pawaan): sanshiro
331 Password required for sanshiro.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
ftp: Login sanshiro failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
ftp> user
(username) sanshiro
331 Password required for sanshiro.
Password:
230-
    Welcome to Darwin!
230 User sanshiro logged in.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.

pwd
425 Can't build data connection: Operation timed out.
ftp>
ftp> pwd
257 "/Users/sanshiro" is the current directory.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
then it keeps poor Acer waiting a while .. then a nice greet :
Code:
425 Can't build data connection: Operation timed out.
So neither wpi0/OpenBSD nor en1/iBook is the cause .. nor config .. I suspect Conceptronic router -of Jurassik Park- :-)

Now , what are a few preconditions to a fast and robust FTP server ?
Thanks !
