425 Can't build date connection: Connection timed out.

Below is an example of what happens when I ftp to my box from a remote
(allowed) site. Is it a problem with being in passive mode? 
I did an nslookup and that works fine.

Also, does anyone know of a site on the web that I can ssh into with the
sole purpose of ssh/ftp or whatever into my machine?

Thanks
