I can sometimes get past this in my classic ftp client by going       into passive mode before doing a dir command. Try just entering "passive"       without the quotes on the ftp command line before issueing any other commands       like dir.              ftp is kind of a cranky protocol, that may or may not help but it's worth a       try.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 134/100 153/105 757 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 428 452 550 664 700 981 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 282/464       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280 712/848 920/1 4500/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 221/6 301/1 229/426           |
