Very good details Tony .. Am not positive if this would be a F/W issue as I
was able to send a config file from SIPX to the FTP server and it worked
just fine:

ftp> put configuration.tar.gz
local: configuration.tar.gz remote: configuration.tar.gz
227 Entering Passive Mode (10,30,3,18,218,109).
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for configuration.tar.gz
226 Transfer complete
142018354 bytes sent in 4.5 seconds (3.1e+04 Kbytes/s)
