IPv6 support for ftpget and ftpput commands

[Anand Gurram]

Hi,

Current FTP client commands in busybox doesn't have support for IPv6
which is handled by EPSV mode.
The default ftpget and ftpput commands support only PASV mode.
I am using busybox version 1-22-1, but I didn't find any code
supporting EPSV in latest version also.
Is there any plan for supporting EPSV in future releases.

>From the previous mail archives I found the below patch from Kev Kitchens
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2013-April/079151.html
([PATCH] networking/ftpgetput.c: Make ftp client code RFC compliant
for IPv4 and IPv6)

Is the above patch a valid fix for the issue I am observing, or it was
not picked up because of some security issue?
Please suggest.

Thanks,
Anand Gurram
