the remote site, 12.129.206.105, is THAT behind a NAT box? have you
tried lftp on another site?  I tried it on ftp.kernel.org and it
worked fine. try it there to make sure it's not the remote server
causing the problem. Running a FTP server behind a NAT box is
generally a good way to screw up FTP bigtime, since FTP isn't NAT
friendly.
