What FTP software are you using?

Did the FTP software ever work or has it never worked on that system?

If the software worked properly at one time, what changes did you make to your operating system or network shortly before the problem occured?

I would try to find the trial version of FlashFXP. I have also had problems with xp's ftp interface.

use ls -la to list contents...perhaps it's some kind of permissions issue. I have also seen firewalls interfere with ftp operations - especially list commands...especially the Cisco VPN client. uninstall any firewall you might have. try disabling the Windows firewall or any other firewall you might have in antivirus, etc. also check for any other vpn client that especially if it includes a firewalling capability. usually stopping the services for a vpn client or firewall and flushing the tcp/ip stack will be sufficient for fixing these problems:

flush the ip stack (from start-->run): net sh int ip reset c:\reset.txt
