Is Fetch stuck in "Getting File List..."? The first thing to try is changing the setting of the "Use passive mode transfers (PASV)" checkbox in the Firewall section of Preferences. If that doesn't help could you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after you see the problem.
Thanks,

Actually, it doesn't get stuck anywhere, it fully completes the connection, and I'm sitting in an empty (looking) directory. I can "view file list" but it shows nothing in the list.
I then sign on with IE, or log in through the Terminal (ftp) and it shows all the directories and files. XO couldn't explain it either.

What happens if you connect with Terminal and type the "dir" command?

Thanks -- can you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window after you try to connect to the same site, for comparison purposes?
Thanks,

That transcript doesn't show any attempt to download a file list. Was Fetch still in "Getting File List..." mode when you copied that transcript, or was there an "As of date time" line below the file list (indicating that the file list had been downloaded previously)? If it's the latter, I'd recommend choosing "Refresh file list" from the Directories menu and posting that transcript.
Thanks,

Nope. By all accounts it appears done. Refreshing file list just gives the same result. Here is a transcript of the connection with a refresh file list and a View File List:

Un-check "Send LIST -al to UNIX servers" from the Obscure Options pop-up menu in the Misc section of Preferences. Apparently this server does not like that non-standard command.

Here's a strange one...
When connecting to xo.com webhosting ftp sites, you can connect normally, but no files or directories are listed in the window or in the "view file list" at all. This happens even though Internet Explorer's built-in FTP functions access it perfectly, viewing the directories and files, as do many other FTP clients.
I'm connecting from Max OS X.2.3 using Fetch 4.03. Any known problems here?
