hrmm, maybe your surfing in passive mode and maybe its not allowed on that site...

some ISP or "location" (as example university) firewall prevent you from using active mode. Try to set your ftp client to use passive mode instead.

well here is two opposites of responses, so how bout this, do the opposite of what your doing...
if your using passive change to active
if your using active change to passive.
and see if that works..
