When this happens, doing "reset" should fix it.
From the "ftp" man page:
reset
Clear reply queue. This command re-synchronizes
command/reply sequencing with the remote ftp server.
Resynchronization may be neccesary following a viola-
tion of the ftp protocol by the remote server.
I have found that sometimes "reset" works, and sometimes it doesn't. :-)
