My best guess is that the server has a firewall that blocks passive mode connections. I would uncheck the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checkbox in the Firewall section of Preferences, and make sure that there's no firewall running on your Mac (e.g. if you are running OS X, turn off the firewall in the Sharing panel of System Preferences).
Thanks,

I think this is related to the Apple 'Security Update 2004-12-02'.
Many people have reported connection problems of all types since installing this update.Regards

I checked the link that Paul supplied but was unable to find a fix to this problem. Is there one available, or should I boot from an earlier version of the operating system? Thanks …

If you are seeing this problem I'd recommend creating a new topic and posting the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after you see a problem.
