Is there a firewall between you and your zope instance.

Come to think of it, there is now and there wasnt' before...

If your firewall prevents inbound connections, then all control commands will work, but data tranfers (retr, list, etc) will fail, since the ftp server will attempt to connect to you through a firewall.

Yup, knew that already, don't know why I didn't put one and one together ;-)

Change your ftp client to use passive ftp and everything should work.

Anyone know how I do that with ange-ftp in EMACS? cheers, Chris
