Code 425 means "Can't open data connection."  There are several RB FTP
classes already available.  Have you looked at any of them?  You can get
them from:

   ftp://ftp.realsoftware.com/CodeExamples/Sockets_Serials/FTP/

You do need to use 2 socket controls - one for communicating commands and
one for data transfer.  If you really want to reinvent the wheel instead of
use an existing class, you'll have to read up.  See the following:
