    Ftp is a bit tricky, as both passive and active use two connections with one of these connections being dynamic.

    The following will catch all connections to a <FTP_HOST> and ignore port 22.
    You can ignore more ports, if applicable.
    Code:
    tcpdump -n -i <DEVICE> host <FTP_HOST> and not port 22
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
