Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but is Windows Firewall
turned on? If so, that might be preventing FTPSuite from receiving
the final message from the ftp server, and thus preventing logoff.
We had similar problems with FTPSuite until we turned off Windows
Firewall.

FYI, I've been meaning to get this info on the FAQ, but if you are
using a Firewall this is what has to happen: (all this assumes using
PASV which is really the safest way to go any)
Client
The firewall (and router, if using one) needs to have the FTP command
port (21) enabled. Additionally, you have to enable the range of FTP
data ports that the FTP Server will give as part of the PASV
protocol. The trick here is that you may no KNOW what that range is.
In Windows, it's typically 1024-5000, but that is dependent on the
FTP Server.
FTP Server
So, if the FTP server can itself be assigned a range to use for PASV
connections, it is possible to define a range of ports that are easy
to configure in the client firewall.
But that's the key.
