FTP "Not Connected"

I am using standard Microsoft FTP client. I could login to my FTP server to "get" or "pull" files. HOwever, when I try to "get" files, sometime I get error message which says "ftp> Not Connected". Then I could not get the file. When I checked, I am still connected to the FTP server. No disconnection with the FTP server.

The problem is intermittent. When I tried again later, it works fine ... until I got that problem again.

DO you have any suggestions on what might have caused the problem?

Does the same problem occur when you use a client like FileZilla? If you haven't tried it yet, please do so and let us know.
Also, in case you do face the problem, I would suggest that you turn the 'Keep-Alive connection' feature of FileZilla.

Further to what has already been written above, I'd try to connect to a different ftp server to see if the problem is duplicated there.  Any of the public ftp servers would do, but as a suggestion try this one:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/

If you try getting several of the smaller files you can then see if it is software or server related.  I use filezilla as recommended above, but it should be client independant.
