MT4 Publisher Passive mode?

 

Yesterday, I faced the problem. MetaTrader publisher didn't work regular mode. (Correct settings ). However, it started to work when I turned on passive mode.

What is a passive mode? And What is the difference?

Regards,

Josef

 

The main difference between active and passive FTP mode is the part that opens connection for data transferring. In active mode, it is the client who has to accept connection from the FTP server. In passive mode, the client initiates connection, and the server accepts it.
