You get this error when you access the FTP server via a NATed 
connection. I get this problem when i try and access my servers via my 
internal network which gets routed to another subnet the servers are on. 
To fix, you will have to access the server via the same subnet the 
server is on. My limited knowledge can not present you with another fix 
at present.
