Why doesn't FTP work in Boot Camp

Question

I've tried a Windows 8 installation and a Windows 7 installation.  I cannot use FTP to remote servers.  I've tried multiple clients.  The client will connect to server, start to upload a file, but then nothing.  This is booting into Windows, not using parallels or anything.  I've tried disabling firewall, but nothing.
FTP clients work fine in Mac OS ( 10.7.5 ) and on laptops running both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
HELP!!
Thanks,
Q

Turn off your Windows firewall completely. The passive mode is trying to use a port that may be blocked. It is not enough to just open port 21 with passive mode.
If that does not work, try using active mode rather than passive mode to see if it makes a difference.
Here is a filezilla log from Windows in Bootcamp:
