I use an OpenBSD4.0 and vsftpd on a FreeBSD6.2. I just would like to update some packages as I recently upgraded from 3.9. Here is what I tried:
# set | grep PKG_PATH
PKG_PATH=ftp://192.168.1.70/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386
#
# pkg_add -ui bzip2-1.0.3
Error from ftp://192.168.1.70/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/:
ftp: -: short write
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection.
Temporary error, sleeping 5 seconds

[...]

Obviously communication is successful, so where is the problem?!
If you can point PKG_PATH at some other ftp server and it works, then I think this ftp server is not happy, or the firewall is contributing to the problem.
A hail-mary might be to force active mode, even though this should make no difference since pkg_add is simply invoking /usr/bin/ftp. A more verbose setting may highlight the problem, and if you really need to figure things out you may need to sniff the traffic.
