MC hangs when changing dirs in non-anonymous ftp

[Sky McKinley <skym pdx edu>]

I would like to access an ftp share which I use as a backup repository, but 
whenever I open the share via ftp://uname host/path/homedir and then try and 
change directories to, say, the public_html directory, MC just sits there.  
Is this a problem with program or is there something wierd about the 
directory?
