An (impossible) problem - off topic from filePro...

[Bill Campbell]

My SWAG is that the dos ftp problem isn't negotiating the ftp
connection properly.  I don't remember the details of the ftp
protocols, but suspect it has to do with the passive connection
mode.  This is an option for ncftp (also available for Windows),

Another option might be to use curl.
