I have no such problem, but I'm using the standard Unix-ftp from the
command-line. Other people who had problems got the advice that they should turn
off passive mode of ftp and I think that did the trick for most. Looking at the
"Falling back to PORT instead of PASV mode." of your try, it seems to me that
maybe this could resolve your problem too. But don't ask me how to switch to
passive mode. (I don't even know what it means - maybe something
Windows-specific? :)
