Just to give another data-point I can mention that we at AppGate have
implemented an ftp-proxy which uses one single channel for both command
and data. This allows us to handle both active and passive ftp. However
I am not saying we should adapt this solution for the filexfer draft. I
am also of the opinion that we need to find something better than ftp.
