Something seems to have changed with the ftp daemon at wcarchive recently.

I use SLiRP to fake a ppp connection to the net, and I've begun to have 
problems connecting to some sites, but not all.  Here are some examples of
what happens:

fetch:
  >>Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles//.
  Syntax error, command unrecognized

ncftp:
  Logged into wcarchive.cdrom.com.
  NcFTP 1.9.5 (October 29, 1995) by Mike Gleason, NCEMRSoft.
  wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.16/FreeBSD/distfiles
  ncftp>ls
  Illegal PORT range rejected.
  wcarchive.cdrom.com:/.16/FreeBSD/distfiles
  ncftp> 

ftp:
  230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
  Remote system type is UNIX.
  Using binary mode to transfer files.
  ftp> ls
  500 Illegal PORT range rejected.
  425 Can't build data connection: Connection refused.
  ftp>

However, I have no trouble with many other sites, including freefall.  I 
didn't always have this trouble, but I don't know when it started, because
I usually use ftp just to grab the ctm deltas from freefall.

Did wu-ftpd change recently? Does anyone have any other suggestions?
