Not really sure what happened with

since it worked fine for me including 'ls'.
As for the 2nd one you tried which didn't work:
ftp://openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386/
Try this:
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386/
Well, I've found that using an HTTP mirror works. However, this is
concerning because all of these machines were able to use FTP properly
before, some Debian machines on the same network can use FTP mirrors
correctly (plus `ftp` to the same OpenBSD mirrors works from Debian),
and the links browser on the OpenBSD machines seems to do FTP
correctly too.
One way or the other, the 'ftp' utility seems to have gotten broken
since 4.6. I'd hazard to guess that it might not be supporting
passive FTP anymore, since active FTP does not work from the network
and this is reminiscent of what would happen if I tried using active
FTP from behind a firewall in the past...
I've worked around the immediate problem with HTTP for now...but is
there any more useful information that I can provide from my end?
