FTP client through ASA5520
 

My Cisco knowledge is pretty good, but I have to admit I've become a slave
to the GUI on my ASA5520, so please be kind.

I'm having a problem when I connect, or try to connect, to an outside FTP
server. I've tried several clients and servers and it comes down to the
clients that connect through my ASA5520, software version 7.0(6)

Here are a couple examples;

C:\Users\xxxxxx>ftp ftp.ca.com
Connected to ftp.ca.com.
220 ftp.ca.com NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.
User (ftp.ca.com:(none)): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:
230-You are user #15 of 4000 simultaneous users allowed.
230 Big long banner cut out
230 Logged in anonymously.
ftp> ls
550 Data connection must go to same host as control connection.
Connection closed by remote host.
ftp>

And

C:\Users\xxxxxx>ftp 71.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connected to 71.xxx.xxx.xxx.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (71.248.168.246:(none)): xxxxxx
331 Password required for xxxxxx.
Password:
230 User logged in.
ftp> ls
501 Server cannot accept argument.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection.

and it freezes here

In both cases I'm already in passive mode.

Normally I would think of this as a server or firewall (on the server side)
problem, but testing shows that its all clients (command line, crystalFTP,
and IE) on the inside of my network when connecting to a server outside of
my network.

All help is appreciated
Thanks
