Hi All,

Has something changed w.r.t. FTP access to exim.org?

I have downloaded new versions of Exim for years using FTP CLI but now I
can't files from two different hosts and with 'active' or 'passive' modes.

My end are Devuan 4.0 (like Debian 10 but without systemd) and FTP
command from Linux NetKit 0.17
