Well it depends on the client. IPv6 aware clients like lftp send the EPSV
command.
The stock ftp client on linux distributions do not yet support IPv6.
I've checked jmeter ftp with another ftp server (proftpd), there also jmeter
sends the PASV command to the server.
Am trying to look in the code of Commons to see what I can do.

One would hope so ...

So does that work with the server you are trying to reach or not?
BTW, which make of FTP server are you using?

Yes, I think it will always do so.

If you find an fix, a patch would be welcome - just create a JIRA
issue and attach it.
Might be worth creating a JIRA enhancement request anyway.
I've posted a message on Commons Dev about NET ftp and IPv6, but so
far no response.
