Does Fetch work with PASV enabled and the firewall turned off? Can you post a transcript?
Thanks,

The short answer: Fetch works with the firewall OFF and PASV in fetch OF (see transcripts below). My goal is for fetch to work with the OS X firewall ON, however. Your ideas on how to accomplish this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Here is a transcript with the OS X firewall OFF and PASV enabled:

The OS X firewall stops Fetch (or any other) FTP client from working with PASV off. Could you try with the firewall off and PASV on? I'd like to see if there's some non-firewall reason why you can't use PASV on.
Thanks,

With the firewall off and pasv enabled I can connect just fine but cannot GET files. As far as I can tell, I can only GET files when PASV is not enabled. Suggestions?

You're stuck between two problems. The server apparently can not use PASV mode for some reason, but if you want to use the OS X firewall you must use PASV mode. It's probably easier for you to turn off the firewall than to fix the server. That isn't a perfect solution, but it's the best you can do with this server limitation.
Thanks,

Since I upgraded to 10.2 I have not been able to connect using Fetch 4.0.3 with the OS X firewall on. The specific problem seems to be in getting a file list. Fetch works fine with the OS X firewall off. I have PASV enabled in the System Prefs/Network/Proxies section and in Fetch. Here is a recent transcript; your advice on how to connect successfully without turnign the firewall off each time would be greatly appreciated.
