    It sounds like CuteFtp is not set up to make data connections in passive
    mode.

    Perhaps it would be a good idea to distinguish between whether you're using
    active mode or passive mode.

    Command-line FTP always uses active mode, and has the advantage that if you
    run it with "ftp -d yoursite.example.com", it will tell you what commands
    are being sent, and what the responses are. Start with that, and see
    whether you still have problems.

    Then, if you need passive mode support as well, try it with an FTP client
    that allows you to see the commands sent and the responses received.

    Alun.
