Mr. Boyes, Mr. Webb.
THANX to both of you. David, by entering "passive", the mode was
turned off and all was well. Peter, THANX for the url. I am now
learning some new things today. Active and Passive. No, I didn't have
a clue. Tis one reason I really like it when "cook book" approaches
don't work cause you end up learning new things. But, then again, I
do like cook books too. :-) THANX again!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that active mode FTP creates an additional data connection that
may not be using 20 or 21 (the CD will flow over the port 20 control
connection, so that should work). VM FTP defaults to active mode FTP,
and LS or PUT cause that second data connection to attempt to open.
Try a PASV command before you try to do the LS.
