What you are likely seeing here is the difference between Passive and Active FTP. See: http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html

Typically the data port is port 20 (whilst the control port is 21) -- But this is often not the case strictly speaking depending on the mode used.

I am trying to download the file port.  I opened up port 21 to download the tar.gz.  It showed connected and logged in.  Then I get to "==> PASV ...", and it keeps failing and retrying.  It errors out saying it can't connect to the IP/a random port every time, and I have no clue what's going on.  Why is it using a random port?  What is it trying to do?
