Let me guess... there is a proxy or firewall between the two of you. Try to use passive transfer in your FTP client and if that does not work you will need to look at configuration of the firewall/proxy.

Try a passive transfer anyway. It helps some times. FTP uses separate connections for control protocol and data transfers. When you login and issue LIST command you use control connection, but to transfer the data with results of the command server needs to establish data connection and this is where it fails.

Use PAssive transfer, had the exact same problem as you, switched to Passive and it worked. Some FTP servers though don't support Passive and you will have to switch it off when you connect to them.
