I've never seen anything about "dataconn" in the dialog.
This is what I see:

^X^F
Find file: /ftp@ftp.cdrom.com:/pub

[ minibuffer says: Making connection blah... Listing ...] <<< WEDGE >>>

If I look in the buffer "*ftp ftp@ftp.cdrom.com*" I see
the successful login and welcome messages. I then see:

230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
ftp> hash
Hash mark printing on (1024 bytes/hash mark).
ftp> quote pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
ftp> quote syst
215 UNIX Type: L8 Version: BSD-199306
ftp> ls "-al /pub/." /tmp/efsa06338
200 PORT command successful.
425 Can't build data connection: Operation timed out.

I need for EFS to send the command "passive" sometime before it sends
the "ls" command.
