Extended Passive mode - RFC 2428 – (Proposed Standard) Extensions for IPv6, NAT, and Extended passive mode. Sep-1998.
The specification for the File Transfer Protocol assumes that the
underlying network protocol uses a 32-bit network address
(specifically IP version 4). With the deployment of version 6 of the
Internet Protocol, network addresses will no longer be 32-bits. This
paper specifies extensions to FTP that will allow the protocol to
work over IPv4 and IPv6. In addition, the framework defined can
support additional network protocols in the future.

I don't think that IPv6 network works good or works at all.
