I did this and finally got a failure.  The FTP log has this:

221 QUIT subcommand received.

Note the "504 Privileged port not allowed on PORT subcommand."  Is this
something that entering passive mode at the PC would fix?  Is that a
SENDPASV command?  This problem only started when I loaded V5R1.

Thanks.
