FTP has mysteriously stopped working

For some reason, FTP has suddenly stopped working on my MacBook Pro. I've tried with Cyberduck, Firefox and Camino. I've tried rebooting, and I've tried restarting the modem and router (a Time Capsule).

I know there's nothing wrong with the remote server, *because I can use FTP fine on my MacBook on the same wifi network.*

With Firefox I get the error:

+426 Transfer aborted. Data connection closed.+

With Cyberduck I get the error:

+Read timed out.+

The full log for Cyberduck is:

This might be way off base but today I couldn't connect between my MacPro and my MacBook over my wireless home network. I checked under sharing on the MacBook and for some reason the AFP option under file sharing was off. I didn't turn it off. I assume SL helpfully did it for me. I've noticed a few weird things like that happening. There's an FTP option in the same area. Maybe check that out.
