   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.
