FTP uses 2 connections: control and data.
Control connection always initiated from client to server.
Data connection can be initiated from server to client ( Active FTP ),
or from client to server ( Passive ).

>From your description, the control connection is working OK, but the data
connection is being blocked. This is almost certainly a firewall issue.

The command-line FTP on XP only does active mode FTP.

So ensure the File Transfer Program ( their error, not mine! ) is listed as
an exception in the XP firewall exceptions tab.

If that fails, then try disabling the firewall totally as a test.

If it still fails, then look at the Cisco VPN client, and ensure that you
have not accidentally enabled its always-on Statefull Firewall. I have
seen this becoming enabled and causing exactly this problem.
