This is the information I wanted -- thanks for confirming my suspicions.
(I'd actually checked my own firewall settings, and port 20 is open for ftp; I
tried opening up another port to see if the remote would find it, but it
didn't. So I was at a bit of a loss as to which of us had a problem.)
Guess I now have to persuade the ISP to tell me which port they have open for
ftp traffic -- presumably they've closed down port 20 to discourage the
black-hats.
