It is most likely a problem with REBOL detecting your machine IP
address incorrectly or not at all. In the current version of /Core,
there is no easy way to set FTP into passive mode like there is in the
recent /View release.
So try this at the top of your script:
change next second get in system/schemes/ftp/handler 'open true
This will set FTP into passive mode which will hopefully solve your
problem.
In the current version of REBOL/view and future versions of
REBOL/core, you can accomplish this same thing with this line:
system/schemes/ftp/passive: true

> I have REBOL/Core running on 3 machines at work:

> HTTP functions in REBOL/Core work great for all 3 machines.
> However, while FTP in REBOL/Core works great on the Windows machine it

> All 3 machines have the latest available REBOL/Core if I run "upgrade".
> All 3 have the same "user.r" settings as well as matching ftp system
