     -p    Use passive mode for data transfers. Allows use of ftp in environ­
           ments where a firewall prevents connections from the outside world
           back to the client machine. Requires that the ftp server support
           the PASV command. This is the default if invoked as pftp.

Try this. I'm guessing here.....
