Hello,

This was reported to tails-dev [1] and other places [2] and is fixed

I've rebased the patch for 1.13.4 (attached), which is the current
version in Debian wheezy [4] that Tails is based on.

Please keep me in CC, as I'm not subscribed.

[4] https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/wget

To reproduce:

A $> nc -lv 8020
B $> wget ftp://A:8020

On A keep entering "200 ok", the following will be printed:

$ wget ftp://dexter:8020 > --2015-09-08 17:11:30-- ftp://dexter:8020/ > =>
‘.listing’ > Resolving dexter (dexter)... 10.160.4.160 > Connecting to

On the server side:

$ nc -lv 8020 > Connection from 10.160.4.160 port 8020 [tcp/intu-ec-svcdisc] accepted
200 ok > USER anonymous > 200 ok > SYST > 200 ok > PWD > 200 ok > TYPE
I > 200 ok > PASV > 200 ok > PORT 10,160,4,160,134,42
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^

This would affect IP users connecting through a privacy proxy or VPN,
leaking their public IP address if they are otherwise connected without
NAT. For users connecting without such a proxy but through NAT, it leaks
the internal IP address.
