I can't use wget - because I want to put files... I can use the classic "ftp" program (which works fine is passive mode) - however I dislike the user interface... ncftp worked fine for me in the past...
post a trace (or screen grab) of the ftp program running passive mode, too, cause I can't see anything wrong with the ncftp setup.
I have seen instances where a firewall on the server was setup so that passive mode would not work, but active mode would - ie, having two machines behind firewalls with one having a ftp port forward means that neither machine can form the proper ftp connection for data - UNLESS one of the firewalls understand FTP, and can either (1) client side firewall dynamically open ports for FTP back to the client, or (2) server side firewall understands that requests coming from the client are RELATED to the established FTP session.
