Can't get directory listing on FTP

I have an FTP site at work that is running raiden ftpd. I have been able to connect to it using flashfxp on windows but have not been able to get it working on os x. I have tried all sorts of ftp applications but cannot get it to show a directory listing. But if I go to a terminal window I can log in and do an ls I can get a directory listing.

Today I downloaded CuteFTP and that one actually works.

My question is why is this the only one that works and is there a way to get the others to work.

Have yo tried Fetch? It works for me.

Tried that one, I dont get it. What is different with cuteftp or the command line that the other ftp clients dont do
