Is there a problem with the ftp server? 

If you were trying to access the FTP server form the same IP address
you posted your message from, it won't work.  Columbia's FTP server
checks reverse and forward DNS.  If they don't resolve, you don't
get in.  This is a security measure on their part.
Their server, their rules.

The IP you posted from, 66.210.191.2 resolves to COX-66-210-191-2.coxinet.net.
Looking up that name fails to return the IP.
You will have to take this up with COX.

FWIW, I am having the same problem with Charter.
I put in a trouble ticket back in November.
No action yet.  I have to access Columbia from work.
There, our ISP knows what they are doing.

You might try using a web proxy service.  If their DNS
is good, you should be ok.
