   Considering, the problems I have seen with their Passive mode support   
   on filezilla client, to connect through an ftp-proxy to external   
   ftp servers, I would blame filezilla.   
      
   In my case I replaced the client with a 10 year old ftp client   
   on the SAME system and everything worked.

   If you can get it going you will probably find it works.   
      
   Now back to sorting some bugs in some USB to SPI controller   
   driver, that does not work for all CPOL and CPHA modes as    
   advertised.
