Hi, I'm hoping this is just because I'm on A49, but I have a user that wants to be able to upload a very large archive to me using FTP.  However, every time he (or I) try, it appears the data connection closes and cannot be reopened without a full reconnection.  I tried cutting out the middleman and using ncftpput, which provides this error:

ncftpput: Could not change to directory Uploads: server said: Directory change failed

Not much help there.  I'm trying to place a simple text file into /Uploads, which has Anonymous enabled, as is enabled under the FTP service.

Anyone have a similar experience or know of any issues using the FTP server in A49?  Even while logging in with my user account, I could sometimes get to /Uploads, but in all cases, a 'ls' would close the data connection.

Thanks!
