You need an FTP proxy. You'll have to talk to the person who set
up your filewall to see if one is in place.

All that means is that you have an http proxy; netscape uses the
HTTP protocol to request proxies to do the FTP request (though it
does use the FTP protocol directly when there's no proxy server in
use).
