This program uses Perl's Net::FTP library to do its FTP transfers. The
library has global configuration information stored (with our current
Perl layout) in /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Config.pm. If you need to, eg, have
all external transfers use passive FTP, you'd want the ftp_ext_passive
config variable to be set to a true value. The library can also be
configured to use a proxy, and probably other things.
The Debian package which contains Net::FTP doesn't give you a good way
to customize this file right now, though. If you know what changes you
need to make to it you can either make them by hand every time you update
libnet-perl, or divert the package's copy of this file.
If you don't know what changes you need to make, download the source
package and use its interactive configuration program:
debget --unpack libnet-perl &&
cd libnet-perl-* &&
perl Configure
This will create a file called "libnet.cfg" in the source directory,
it can be used as /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Config.pm.
