I am sorry but I do not see how opening ports for a ftp client has to do with anything when it works fine under XP and XP SP1 just fails to work correctly under XP SP2.

For starters, SP2 has a firewall enabled by default. Also, it has a limit on the number of raw TCP sockets that can be half-open at once. Try forwarding the ports. Try disabling the firewall. Install the TCP/IP patch from www.lvllord.de . I don't know if these things will help, but it's a good place to start.
