Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Passive ftp

[Juan Toledo <toledo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While developing EtherApe I found the need to support passive ftp
to reduce the number of unknown tcp ports found in the protocols list.

As usual I went to the ethereal sources for a quick copy and paste
and I was surprised to find that it was not supported.

Thus I've implemented my own (simpler) version of conversations to 
support RPC replies packets and passive ftp and it's working now.

Now my question is: is there any technical reason that goes beyond
me for ethereal not to support passive ftp? If not I'll be glad
to turn around the usual procedure around and at last be able
to contribute to ethereal.

Regards,
Juan.
