Summary: ange-ftp mode does not support the extended passive mode  
(epsv) mode.

Explanation:

when connecting to the server in the command line using
ftp, i get this error:

[xah <at> xahg5][Tue Jan 13 09:37:40][~]
ftp j...@example.com
Connected to example.com.
220 FTP Server ready.
331 Password required for joe.
Password:
230 User joe logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||40104|)
500 Illegal EPRT command
200 PORT command successful

421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
ftp>

a web search suggests to use “passive off” and or “epsv”  
commands.
The epsv command worked for me.

ftp j...@example.com
Connected to example.com.
220 FTP Server ready.
331 Password required for joe.
Password:

ftp> epsv
EPSV/EPRT on IPv4 off.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (68,75,114,108,156,180).
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
... [file listed]

However, i need to use it inside emacs to be able to dev on the site.
i don't see any customizable var about epsv in
ange-ftp's customize panel.

(yes i know about sftp, ssh... Not a option here. ange-ftp has  
passive mode, but that doesn't work for me in this case)

PS about two weeks ago i reported a bug about zip file and got a  
reply of request for example... sorry haven't had time to respond to  
it yet.
