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.
Thanks for the reply. Everything works fine from modern command line, but the vintage Fetch app doesn't allow you to enter any commands. I'm guessing the old app doesn't support passive mode so I tried switching the Passive Mode to "No" in the FTP
server settings without any luck...
