Is it the PORT command that, in passive mode, sends the IP address of
the client, to which the remote server must connect?  How is the remote
to perform the translation?

In my case, I have 172.24.16.4 going across, I certainly cannot expect
the FTP server to guess what the actual advertised address should be on
the other side of the NAT.

Or am I missing some feature of the FTP client?
