Just out of curiosity, are you using a software firewall? If so, you may wish to either add to ip of the ftp server to your trusted zones/dmz or temporarily disable the firewall to fully access the ftp server.

using a router and sygate.. when sygate asks for permission to ftp site I give it permission... router dosent seem to be causing me any issues.. I deleted all my files except for three of them and I get invalid file name errors when I try to delete through dos or through IE.. Im gonna call old ISP and tell them to delete them and see if they can,...lol

Could it be file attributes/permissions? I know 'nix' hosts don't particularily like spaces in file names.(ie my file name.whatever) . If the file names have spaces try and enclose the file name in quotes, this usually works.
