Updating Axis 70U

My friend gave me an AXIS 70U Documents Server. Quite old, yet perfectly usable. Updating them using their ​manual resulted in an obscure message: 

500 Command unrecognized or not implemented.
Passive mode refused.

Forcing ftp in active mode (the default back in the days), fixed the issue: 

$ ftp -A 192.168.178.102
Connected to 192.168.178.102 (192.168.178.102).
