	I get exacly the above, no problems. So we have the same setup 
and after reading man pftp I do see the -p and when I use it I get:

[karl at bucket karl]$ pftp -p ftp.zianet.com
Connected to ftp.zianet.com (216.234.192.127).
220 oracle Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
Name (ftp.zianet.com:karl): k5di
331 Password required for k5di.
Password:
230 User k5di logged in.
Remote system type is Windows_NT.
ftp> pwd
257 "/k5di" is current directory.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (216,234,192,127,13,255).

So it appears that pftp -p doesn't work.

So I tried straight pftp and:

[karl at bucket karl]$ pftp ftp.zianet.com
Connected to ftp.zianet.com (216.234.192.127).
220 oracle Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
Name (ftp.zianet.com:karl): k5di
331 Password required for k5di.
Password:
230 User k5di logged in.
Remote system type is Windows_NT.
ftp> pwd
257 "/k5di" is current directory.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (216,234,192,127,14,1).

So finally I tried plain ftp:

[karl at bucket karl]$ ftp ftp.zianet.com
Connected to oracle.zianet.com.
220 oracle Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
500 'AUTH GSSAPI': command not understood
500 'AUTH KERBEROS_V4': command not understood
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
Name (ftp.zianet.com:karl): k5di
331 Password required for k5di.
Password:
230 User k5di logged in.
Remote system type is Windows_NT.
ftp> passive
Passive mode off.

	This works fine.
