I am assuming you are going through the software loopback driver. Well,
on one of our machines (this one was also running 4.2 based networking
code at the time) I got:
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get xxx /dev/null
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for xxx (127.0.0.1,1028) (17444448 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
17444448 bytes received in 1.34 seconds (12673.608 Kbytes/s)
The numbers are better with our newer 4.3BSD based code.
So I guess the answer to your question is yes.
