First, give us the background.
Where is the ftp server? Why do you need to connect to it in passive mode? What OS and ftp server does the remote server run?
At the client end, what OS and ftp client? As someone else also asked, is client-side disk space an issue? (I doubt this is the problem myself.)
What network is in between them (a LAN? the Internet? a VPN? a PPPoE or DHCP external address that changes often?) Any NAT'ing or other routing/firewalling involved? Some quick arithmetic seems to say that the transfer is taking place at about 6 Mbps (bits, not Bytes), implying a slow Ethernet, not the Internet (consistent with the subnet-10 private address reported in the passive-mode transfer ... but then *why* passive mode???).
Do other ftp transfers from this server to this client run smoothly? If yes, are any of them as big as this one (1 GB)?
Second, do the logs on either end tell you anything informative? Especially, does the remote end log anything connected to the "421" message it sends to the client end?
Third, because ftp clients update the screen somewhat dynamically, quoting a static printout of the screen is less informative than with most applications. Is there anything significant about the real-time operation of the transfer that you see when doing it, but that is not apparent in the material you quoted below?
