No it isn't. And it is a very unreliable way anyway since there are just too
many FTP server implemenations what don't read the control channel while
there's a data transfer going!

You have that for both passive and active mode.

A long time ago we experimented with sending NOOP on the control channel
during transfers to improve how it survives, and that tought me FTP server
implementations often take shortcuts there.
