ftp port error

We are getting the following error while in the middle of an ftp with a remote server

transfer.07-25-02-124529:425 Can't build data connection: Operation already in progress.

This can happen in the middle of a successful connection... we might transfer several files successfully before and / or after this error.

Any ideas??

We end up losing a file transfer when this happens.

What we do, is go to the remote site, retrieve a list of the files with certain id in the file name so that we know are ready to be picked up into a file on our side.
We feed this list through a do process to pick up each file and transfer it.
We then rename the file to something else so we do not pick it up again.
The file on the remote site gets renamed ok, but the file does not transfer to our site.

Any insight would help.

Thanks

bup-web

bup-ftp(1)						      General Commands Manual							bup-ftp(1)

NAME

       bup-web - Start web server to browse bup repositiory

SYNOPSIS

       bup web [[hostname]:port]

DESCRIPTION

       bup web	starts	a web server that can browse bup repositories.	The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1), bup-ls(1) and
       bup-ftp(1).

       hostname and port default to 127.0.0.1 and 8080, respectively, and hence bup web will only offer up  the  web  server  to  locally  running
       clients.  If you'd like to expose the web server to anyone on your network (dangerous!) you can omit the bind address to bind to all avail-
       able interfaces: :8080.

EXAMPLE

	      $ bup web
	      Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080...
	      ^C

	      $ bup web :8080
	      Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8080...
	      ^C
