Has anyone found a solution to this problem. I looked at all the messages
that I could find in this newsgroup and tried to turn off Passive FTP - that
did not work for me. I also put an exception for port 21 in the Windows
Firewall but that did not help either.

I am answering my own question. Either turning off Passive FTP or the Port
21 exception worked. I merely had to reboot. I now get a Windows Firewall
window when I attempt to access a specific FTP location. The window says WF
has disabled some features of this site. I have to select unblock and it
works. I am going to remove each of the fixes that I put in to see which
one actually is the one that is required.

Setting an exception for Port 21 in Windows Firewall is what did it for me.
I have decided to leave the Passive FTP setting checked. According to the
associated help, this is more secure and most all FTP sites can handle it.
