I figured this out several weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to post it yet.
To download from Simtel20 to VM, you must do the following:

  FTP> Type I
  FTP> Quote TYPE L 8

Note: The L in the line above ***MUST*** be capitalized.  Otherwise, case does
not matter.

The problem with this is that MGET and MPUT don't work.  Tough luck.
