FTP workflow hangs with OWB 11gR2

Question

Hi,
i created a workflow process in OWB, the purpose is using "ftp" commands to execute "dir" command but it's not working.
i configured my "ftp" in workflow process with the folowing parameters
===============
1:COMMAND : /usr/bin/ftp
2:PARAMETER_LIST: ?-v?
3:SUCCESS_THRESHOLD: 0
4:SCRIPT :
open ${Remote.Host}
user oracle ensias
lcd ${Working.RootPath}
cd ${Remote.RootPath}
dir
quit
===============
at the same time ,i created two locations in FILE LOCATION node with the names:"LOCAL","SERVER", Then configured the workflow process
remote location: SERVER
working location: LOCAL
===============
& i changed the folowing values in Runtime.properties
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.FTP.security_constraint = DISABLED
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.Shell.security_constraint = DISABLED
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.SQLPlus.security_constraint = DISABLED
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.OMBPlus.security_constraint = DISABLED
to
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.FTP.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.Shell.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.SQLPlus.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.OMBPlus.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
===============
but when i press Start it just keeps running without any result
i also disabled my firewall
Any ideas what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.
===============
My conf:
OS : CentOS 6
JAVA: version 7 (build 1.7.0-b147)
Oracle Database 11g Release 2
OWB integreated with the oracle databse

sorry for the delay but it's because of the holly-days
I'm using OWB and a local server (vsftpd) for testing purposes and yes i restarted my computer after editing the file, i even tried to change the values in my script but with no results, i started to think that the script is not the issue, i configured OWB according to its official documentation & I'm a little confused...
here's the content of my log file after pressing the start button:

==================================
you can notice that it contains NO error & it stops when "Attempting to create native operator 'class.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.FTP'"
so, any help ?
