Bruce -
Have you tried turning off Passive mode before performing GET?

SENPASV is the FTP command.
(See more below)

> From the help text:

SENDPASV subcommand (Specify whether PASV subcommand is sent)

Use this subcommand to specify whether or not a PASV subcommand is sent
by the FTP client to the FTP server for data transfer or when issuing
the DIR and LS subcommands.  The default is ON, which sends the PASV
subcommand.

Enter the SENDPAsv subcommand as follows:


   SENDPAsv [0 | 1]


SENDPAsv      You can abbreviate subcommands to the most unique series of
            characters.

-             When no parameter is specified, SENDPASV works like a toggle
             switch.  The present setting is switched to the opposite
             value.

 0             Do not send a PASV subcommand.

 1             Send a PASV subcommand.  This is the default setting.

     Note:

     Use of the PASV subcommand to establish a data transfer connection
     is recommended when establishing a connection through a firewall.
     In some cases, data transfer through a firewall is not possible
     without the PASV subcommand.

     Some FTP servers do not support the PASV subcommand. If SENDPAsv is
     set to ON and the FTP client attempts a data transfer with a server
     that does not support PASV, the FTP client will display a message
     indicating that the server does not support PASV.  The FTP client
     will then attempt to establish the data transfer connection without
     sending the PASV subcommand.

     When SENDPAsv is set to OFF or is disabled, then the PORT subcommand
     will be sent to the server when SENDPORT is ON.
