I've got some code that as part of its operation lists files from an FTP server using the MS-DOS style "dir" command through the Windows command-line "ftp" app. This works fine on the IIS FTP server (running on Win XP Pro SP2), but IIS is being unreliable so I'd like to switch.
However, FileZilla doesn't seem to support this command. Is there any way to get it to do so?
(Using the FileZilla server is perfect through a traditional client, which presumably does things differently.)

"dir" is not part of the FTP protocol. You're confusing a client command with the actual FTP commands.

The ftp.exe from M$ is translating DOS commands to FTP commands and vice versa. But AFAIK it doesn't support PASV mode (don't know about the Vista one though).
