I don't know much about "RMF Spreadsheet Reporter" (I've never used it),
but I'm assuming that it's some sort of package you run on a workstation,
and uses FTP to retrieve data from the mainframe.
The PORT command indicates that the FTP client (192.168.2.1) is waiting
for a connection *from* the FTP server. This connection will be used to
send the results of the LIST command back to the FTP client.
Most likely, some sort of firewall on your workstation (or perhaps
somewhere upstream of your workstation) is blocking inbound counnections
into your workstation. You may need to try and configure the FTP client to
use passive mode for data transfers.
Have you installed any new security packages on your workstation (Norton
Internet Security, McAfee, etc.???)
