Did you recently change your FTP program?  It sounds like you are unable to
do Active FTP and your FTP client program doesn't know to switch to Passive
mode automatically (or by default).  Try putting the FTP client program
into passive mode (sometimes as easy as typing 'passive' at the first prompt
you get) or using another client (ncftp on unix works well, and AbsoluteFTP/
SecureFX by Van Dyke Technology all seem to take care of this for me when
I've used them).
