it could be a firewall issue. FTP will use 2 different ports and it changes
depending on wether your using active or passive ftp mode (the way the
server is set up). If your not able to make the conection on the second port
the server may automticaly close the conection to conserve resources. If you
are behind a firewall or router, try opening them up and see if the same
problem exists. If it doesn't then determin how the ftpserver is setup and
open the apropriate ports. You shouldn't have to keep everythign wide open
to use it but it does become a pain opening the specific ports in some
situations.
