Is an update for passive ftp available for post 2020 releases?

About 12 years ago Idin Motedayen-Aval provided an excellent solution to the ftp problems in MatLab by producing a set of tools that allow MatLab to use a passive ftp protocol. However, recent updates to MatLab have caused problems with this solution (pathfiles have changed for example). Is there a new tool available?
Why does MatLab still not have a built-in tool for passive FTP? Is this planned? Firewalls are pretty standard these days.

Hi Robert,
The FTP class in MATLAB does not provide the passive FTP functionality.
However, MATLAB does provide functionality for working with FTP using its 'ftp' object and related functions, which can be used to perform basic FTP operations. These functions might not offer passive mode support out of the box but can be used for many FTP tasks.

This isn't really good enough, MATLAB. The device I am trying to download data from uses passive mode and I have no control over that. With Idin Motedayen-Aval's workaround no longer working I am left unable to complete the task. It's a pain.
