the built in command line ftp client in server 2008 does not support passive mode

so I've used these commands to allow outbound ftp (it stalls without this)

1) Open port 21 on the firewall

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="FTP (no SSL)" action=allow protocol=TCP dir=in localport=21

2) Activate firewall application filter for FTP (aka Stateful FTP) that will dynamically open ports for data connections

netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFtp enable

however in server 2008 r2, these commands seem to work, but it does not affect the outbound ftp, it stalls

I do not want to use an alt client
