"Can't build data connection" means it can't start the data (second stage) of the ftp. (See the active vs passive explanation link I posted).

Why can't you take down the firewall on that client? Does it give you an error (eg, permission denied) or do you need to be given the steps.

No guarantees but I reckon the firewall could be the problem and if I were you I'd definitely need to eliminate it from the investigation.

I just took down the firewall on a Windows 7 client that I have here and this is exactly how I did it. I'm not saying that this will work for you but post any error that you get.

Start > Control Panel
Click on the actual words "Network and Internet"
Click on "System and security" in the left column
Click on the actual words "Windows firewall"
Click on "Turn Windows firewall on or off" in the left column
Set any/all firewall options to "off"
Click OK

Obviously this is just for testing purposes.

And for the record, what AV are you using?

soundconverter

SOUNDCONVERTER(1)						GNOME User's Manual						 SOUNDCONVERTER(1)

NAME

       soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats

SYNOPSIS

       soundconverter [options] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       soundconverter  is  a  simple tool for converting sound files to other formats.	It can work from the command line, but is really meant for
       interactive use in the GNOME environment.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print out a usage summary.

       -b, --batch
	      Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface.  You can use this from, say, shell scripts.

       -m, --mime-type arg
	      Set the output MIME type for batch mode.	The default is audio/x-vorbis.	Note that you probably want to set the	output	suffix	as
	      well.

       -q, --quiet
	      Be quiet.  Don't write normal output, only errors.

       -d, --debug
	      Print additional debug information.

       -s, --suffix arg
	      Set the output filename suffix for batch mode.  The default is .ogg.  Note that the suffix does not affect the output MIME type.

       -t, --tags
	      Show tags for input files instead of converting them.  This indicates command line batch mode and disables the graphical user inter-
	      face.

       -j, --jobs=
	      Force number of concurent conversions.  Default is one per present CPU.
