The error message is actually incorrect.  What it's trying to say, and
SHOULD be saying, is, "Permission denied".  Check the BSD box's
credentials on the OS/2 box.  Perhaps OS/2 is listening on a
privileged port?  -o resv would fix that..

The old version of ncftp doesn't handle automatic selection of passive
mode.  The current one supposedly does.  I can't promise, but I hope
that it'll be the system ncftp for 2.1.
