I used to have the same problem transferring NetCDF files from our VAX
to our UNIX workstations, and the problem turned out to be with the
Wollongong FTP software.   So perhaps there is a problem with the 
FTP software on your PC.    

Of course, the problem might be that you just forgot to 
transfer in *binary* mode. ;-)
