This can be an active vs passive mode issue.

If the ftp server wants passive mode but your client is in active mode that can happen. I can sometimes get past this in my classic ftp client by going into passive mode before doing a dir command. Try just entering "passive" without the quotes on the ftp command line before issueing any other commands like dir.

ftp is kind of a cranky protocol, that may or may not help but it's worth a try.
