At what point does it fail? If commands are accepted but data
transfers are not, it is most likely a firewall issue.

the remote FTP asks for id, password and logs in. if we attempt a
LS (unix list command) it fails and kills the ftp session.

Sounds like a firewall problem. The data transfer is initiated by
either the server or the client (active/passive). You can try
changing to the other, and see if it helps.

There is a ftp command for it - pasv if I recall correctly.
