You may have a brain dead router.  Try passive mode, if you're using active FTP
and vice-versa.

Not officially that I know of in Mystic, but I did cheat by creating a dummy
*.NA file using my Synchronet BBS, making some minor tweaks, importing that to
Mystic, then making some final fixes.  That did at least save a bit of typing. 
The gold standard for auto creating QWK bases would be the ability to import a
CONTROL.DAT from a QWK packet.  This will have enough information to set
everything up, including the conference numbers.
