It could also be an issue with active/passive FTP. I think the DOS version is only capable of doing active sessions, where IE is capable of doing both...Could be a firewall in the mix somewhere mucking with the data ports...

I think, if that's the case, he would login successfully, the ftp client would accept commands but he'd get no answer. The firewall would pass the command traffic (outgoing - default on port 21) and block the data traffic (incoming - default on port 20).
