< --- 227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xx,xx,xx,xx,xx)

But some client such as filezilla may works on the same site.

Most of the the reason is that the FTP server configuration didn’t have assigned passive ports nor are they open on the firewall.

I find two solutions to this problem:

1) Disable ssl when using lftp
This is the easy solution because usually we can not change the server’s configuration. We can do this by simply add one line:

set ftp:ssl-allow false

to ~/.lftprc.
My .lftprc configuration files can be found here: http://github.com/zma/config_files

2) Change the configuration on the server side for a pureFTP connect
Force passive mode on server and open specific ports in server firewall.

对于LFTP：
设置编码即可：可使用命令：

set ftp:charset GBK
set file:charset UTF-8

表示FTP端编码为GBK，本地文件编码为UTF－8。
上传下载文件时LFTP会自动做转换的。

可以将上面两行了指令写在$HOME/.lftprc中
这样每次打开都会默认设置好的.

对于gFtp:
直接在/usr/bin/gftp中
在文件的开头部分
#!/bin/sh
后面加上这样一句:

export LANG=zh_CN

就可以了.下载文件时没有问题.但上传文件还是有问题的,这个现在还没有找到好的解决办法.
