   | Trying again, I can connect to FTP.
   | The last two lines are:
   | 250 CWD command successful.
   | local: super_pi.tar.gz remote: super_pi.tar.gz
   | 
   | After a bit, I get this:
   | 421 Service not available, remote server timed out.  Connection closed.
 
 Looks suspiciously like NAT death & EPSV - an FTP server & client that
 understand (and use) EPSV (or EPRT) separated by a NAT that has no
 idea what those are about (though as it is now close to 15 years since
 they were added, such a thing is really inexcusable - but they certainly
 exist).
 
 You could try disabling EPSV in the client, and see if that helps.
 
 Otherwise, try a tcpdump of the connection, and see what is really
 happening.
