Try turning on Passive Mode if it's off, or try turning it off if it's on.

| Looks like your data connection is being blocked somewhere. |

It means that you query the server to give you a list of what is in the current directory, but that it gets dropped by the firewall.
| Quote: | | The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn't make the actual connection to the data port of the server--it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client--something that is usually blocked. |

Probably switching to passive mode would solve the problem. |
