too new to FreeBSD.

Anthony, please set your MUA to wrap lines at about 76 chars...

functionallity on this system here at work?  Any idea of where I might
begin to even look to troubleshoot it?

2 thoughts occur to me:
1) Are you sure you are in PASSIVE mode?  AFAIK, ftp defaults to ACTIVE,
so you must specify PASSIVE.
2) Are you perhaps running IPFW or IPF on your FreeBSD box?  Perhaps
that is where the FTP is being blocked - on your FreeBSD box, not your
company firewall.
