This doesn't look like FTP issue. I suspect a difference in firewall settings. To troubleshoot, I would recommend to install free FTP client app, such as FileZilla and manually test the uploads and downloads.
Filezilla would show you the request/response details that may help to understand the root cause of your problem. You should also check the FTP server log files.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
