mc --version
GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.0
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs
With builtin Editor
Using included S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations

No, there is no NAT router.  I have found that if I log in specifying a
directory that I will start in that directory, but it will be empty, and
if I move up one directory, that directory is empty as well, and they
are all empty until I get back to my root directory that is local.

I don't think it is the router because both ftp and gftp work correctly.
