The error message means that the ftp server is rejecting the
PORT command from REBOL. The typical reason for this is
that REBOL is sending the wrong IP address for the ftp data
connection, and that is usually caused by an incorrect system
configuration of your machine (at the operating system level,
not in REBOL), most likely a bad DNS setup.
"read dns://" should return the correct fully qualified hostname
(i.e. including domain) of your machine, and
"read dns://host.name.com" (with your hostname) should return
the IP address. "read dns://1.2.3.4" (with your IP address) should
return the hostname again (but that last part is not critical for FTP).
