In the ftp server there was a firewall, after this firewall removed, fc1 
still got  connected first and then when issued "ls " command the 
connection is closed - but when I used windows xp to connect to same ftp 
server, everything was just fine.
The strange thing is that when use xp to connect to this ftp server, 
everything is fine and I could download a file from it.
But when I use the fc1 to connect to this ftp server, first got 
connected and then connection is closed with message;
            227 Entering passive mode (192,168,1,111,240)
            426 Connection closed; transfer aborted.
However when I used fc1 to connect to limestone.uoregon.edu   ftp 
server, it works fine!
Basically the situation in summary is ;
XP can connect and download a file from* _that ftp server_*.
FC1 can connect limestone.uoregon.edu  ftp server and I can use ls or cd 
commands (so assume it is working here) but  when connect to *_that ftp 
server_*, first got conneted and then the connection is closed ritht 
away for unknown reason!.**
