gui works, console times out

we are behind a router implementing nat

GUI will not connect if passive mode is off

GUI will show directory listing if passive mode turned on

console connects, enters pasv mode, times out when try to retreive a directory listing (ls)


Anyone know what I can try to get the console to work?

You cannot switch to passive mode this way. WinSCP does not try to understand commands you send to FTP server using "call" command. So what happens is that you enable passive mode on the server, but WinSCP stays in active mode. So they cannot talk to each other anymore.
