[20:15] <Eickmeyer> Hey! cjwatson: If you're around, I'm having difficulty uploading to a PPA. It keeps telling me Extended Passive Mode Entered and is refusing to upload from that point.
[20:16] <Eickmeyer> wgrant: Perhaps you have an idea? ^
[20:17]  * RikMills read that as Passive Aggressive mode
[20:19] <Eickmeyer> RikMills: I mean, you're not wrong. XD
[20:21] <sarnold> "passive mode" sounds a bit like an ftp thing; maybe switch to sftp?
[20:55] <Eickmeyer> sarnold: With dpkg?
[20:55] <Eickmeyer> er... dput?
[20:57] <sarnold> Eickmeyer: yeah, dput.cf
[20:57] <Eickmeyer> sarnold: Yeah, TIL, saw the manpage. Interesting, didn't know. Thanks!
[20:58] <Eickmeyer> sarnold: Now to see if it works...
[21:15] <Eickmeyer> sarnold: After a few tweaks, it seems to be working. Thanks! No idea why I'm going passive in ftp.
[21:15] <sarnold> Eickmeyer: yay :)
[21:16] <sarnold> Eickmeyer: well, ftp is a miserable protocol; I can't remember now which one is active and which one is passive, but NAT firewalls and connection tracking firewalls need to inspect the ftp control streams to adapt..
[21:17] <Eickmeyer> sarnold: That must be it. I'm double-natted here. :(
[21:17] <sarnold> Eickmeyer: sftp may not be perfect but it's quite a bit nicer than ftp, so it'll get through far more networks
[21:17] <sarnold> Eickmeyer: oh yeah. that'll do it.
[21:17] <sarnold> it might be possible to make it all work, but that's certainly the kind of thing that'll break it all
[21:17] <Eickmeyer> Unfortunately, yes. I might be switching ISPs anyhow. This one is driving me nuts.
[21:19] <sarnold> woot
