Hi jmeggers, I have looked at the document but, its purpose is if you want to set up an FTP server on a DMZ. I am not trying to set one up, but only communicate with an existing one on the internet.

Thanks to all, the solution had to do with the Protocol inspection and service policy rules. I cleared what was there and added the following line to the Cisco ASA:<br />
class-map inspection_default<br />
&nbsp;match default-inspection-traffic<wbr /><br />
!<br />
!<br />
policy-map asa_global_fw_policy<br />
&nbsp;class inspection_default<br />
&nbsp;inspect ftp<br />
!<br />
service-policy asa_global_fw_policy global
