   This can be an active vs passive mode issue.   
      
   If the ftp server wants passive mode but your client is in active mode that   
   can happen. 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.
