Hi sunmanagers,

Thank you for all you replied.

I got many mails regarding this problem.  I am including the most appropriate
ones in this summary.

THE SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM IS:

after establishing connection we have to turn off the passive mode by typing
passive in the ftp prompt
ftp>passive

when the passive mode is off, the ftp transfer will be done in port mode.

   Why passive mode is not working is because in passive mode the client will
try to receive data thru random ports.
Most of the firewall will not allow this.  They will allow only standard data
port for ftp.  Once you are in port mode,
the ftp will use the standard port for communication and will not be blocked by
firewalls.

Once again thank you Richard Zoch :

 The quote pasv was not working for me.  But his answers were leading to the
correct answer.

regards

sudheesh
