Can't See Files on Remote Host

I'm using Windows XP, sp2. I can see and get files using the command-line ftp client in windows; however, I cannot see anything with SmartFTP. I can change to directories that I know are there and I can create new directories, I just can't get them to show up in a directory listing. I'm sure it's a setup issue. Here is the log:

Any help would be appreciated. One more thing... In the command-line ftp, only "ls" works.

You need to remove the -al arguments from the LIST command. To do this go to the Favorite settings. FTP -> Transfer dialog. Uncheck all directory listing options.
For detailed instructions use the search function.

Still no files. Here's the end of the new log after the changes mentioned above:

Hello ...

The server does not send any data. Thus nothing can be displayed.

Actually your statement should be, "The server does not send any data to SmartFTP." I posted a session with the command-line ftp in my first post. Why would a simple command-line utility be more capable than SmartFTP?

Hello ..

Use Port mode instead of Passive mode. For further support and technical explanations please purchase a license:
