I have a problem uploading to some ftp sites, although i'm not sure how to describe the problem , but here goes nothing...

Connecting to: NT Server
OS: XP SP2
Windows Firewall: Disabled
Other Firewall: Sygate Firewall Pro - no blocking of ftp reported in my logs
Other notes:
1) FTP server will not accept passive mode
2) Not using the directory - l setting will not allow me to list the server directory and just hangs
3) Once connected, i can delete files from the server, but trying to copy gives me the following error:
4) I can connect to other ftp servers, both unix and windows on different hosts, although i do have trouble sometime where the one day i can connect to a specific unix server, but the following day, i can't connect using the exact same settings.
5) I can connect to the below servers using
