150 FTP response code

The server is using the 150 FTP reply code to respond to a command initiating a file transfer before establishing the data connection over which the transfer will occur. A PASV or PORT command should be used before the command receives the 150 response code. Once the response is sent or received, the server or client may begin sending data over the connection.
