All of you seem to be having the same problem. I once did some research on the FTP protocol for use in a script I was writing, so I know enough to be able to tell what's going on. FTP connections require more than one socket connection. You have the main connection that you initiate with the server, a connection that the server uses to send files to you, and a connection that you use to send files to the server. The problem you people are experiencing seems to be happening when the server tries to make the connection to send files to you (a directory list is a file, by the way). It is my understanding that STN intercepts these commands and sets up a port that will forward to your internal client machine behind the STN box. Apparently it is not working right for some of you.
