lftp can connect, cd, but not ls, or mirror

I'm trying to transfer files away from a Yahoo business hosting account using lftp. I can successfully connect and cd through the directories, but if I try data connection related commands (ls, mirror, etc), it times out with a socket related error. Below is the connection I'm using.

> lftp -d
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-force true
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-protect-list yes
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-protect-data yes
lftp :~> set ftp:ssl-auth TLS
lftp :~> set ssl:verify-certificate no
lftp :~> connect ftp.siteurl.com
lftp ftp.siteurl.com:~> login [email protected]

You should turn on debug to see what's going on with the data connection. Use command debug.

Most probable reason for the problem is a NAT router or a firewall. You can try to disable SSL or reverse ftp:passive-mode setting.
