This seems to be a socket problem. It's like you have a firewall
beetween the client and the server.
Actually Pyla is waiting for a ftp data connection but the client times
out. 
Try to use a normal ftp client from your Panther and see if it works.
Try to set Pyla in passive mode setti to 1 the property on line 78 in
hylaproto.py.

Bye.
