Trouble with FTP connection

I'm having trouble getting phpStorm 1016.1.2 to use an ftp connection. I'm working out of my RV using a jetPack network connection.

1) all sftp connections to other servers using phpStorm are working just fine.

2) the one site that only has an ftp server connects just fine using fileZilla

3) using phpStorm's "Deployment" tool and clicking on "Test FTP Connection" yields a "Successfully Connected to ~~~"

4) trying to select a root path on the server or log the directory never completes. It just spins the working gif forever. 

5) This configuration for that ftp site works fine using phpStorm when I'm at my office. 

Currently I'm using fileZilla to upload my work but there are some features I'm missing.
