Have you explicitly tried the passive command from within the ftp program and got stuck? Have you tried to access other ftp servers in passive mode?
Yes, indeed. I used "set passive" in ncftp, and examined the transcript later to be sure that indeed it was sending the PASV or the PORT command as indicated. And I tried with every Mandrake PPC mirror - copied and pasted the URL to ncftp. With PORT and no firewall, it works. With PASV, it doesn't. I also made sure the site supported passive access - by trying to access it from work.
