Default FTP client?

(Might be worth having a 'general' forum in the support category)

A somewhat weird FTP error I've noticed periodically happens often lasting a day on one of my website hostings is as follows...
Quote:
Status: Connecting to ftp.site.com ...
Status: Connected with ftp.site.com. Waiting for welcome message...
Response: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
Response: 220-You are user number 3 of 50 allowed.
Response: 220-Local time is now 10:14. Server port: 21.

Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: PWD
Response: 257 "/" is your current location
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 TYPE is now ASCII
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (87,117,200,71,101,72)
Command: LIST
Error: Transfer channel can't be opened. Reason: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Error: Could not retrieve directory listing
Command: TYPE I
For reference the above was the command line info from my FTP client, with bits modified for general privacy. The problem bit occurs when the FTP attempts to LIST, which I believe is generating the folder list. I've had a contact in the US attempt to connect to FTP when this is occurring at my end and the same thing occurs. Interestingly my other website hosting which I believe is on a different server is unaffected and connects fine.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and is their a solution for getting it working?
