Hi.
I studied the code of both ftp and ncftp recently and found that while
there is a great deal of inspiration of ncftp from ftp, they are a bit
different in settings the socket options for both control and data
connection. But you can't change it. The other thing is that ncftp
uses passive mode by default while ftp sendport mode for data connection.
Try setting "passive" in ftp and see if it helps.
