Hm, strange. This error I got with my own ftp implementation and the cause
to use ftplib. My vdr is behind a linux router with iptables too.

Try the following patch (Hope it works, cause I have no vdr at work):

+       //possible connection modes: FTPLIB_PORT and FTPLIB_PASSIVE. Default

+       if (FtpOptions(FTPLIB_CONNMODE, FTPLIB_PASSIVE, conn) == 0) {

+
+               return;
+       }
+       
+       logLastResponse(conn);
        sprintf(filename, "%s%s.TXT", metarDir, setup->stationId);
        dsyslog("Getting %s.", filename);



If it works, I will add a option to use passive mode.

Cheers,
Steffen
