OK. Could you, please, run a native test from the command line:
# ftp 192.164.1.4
Provide user name / password as requested. Afterwards, please apply the
following commands which we have seen in the ange-ftp buffer. This is a
test to see whether it is ange-ftp or your FTP server which behaves
unfriendly:
ftp> hash
ftp> pwd
ftp> cd /
ftp> ls -al
ftp> quote mdtm /
ftp> cd /Volume_1/
ftp> ls -al
ftp> quote mdtm /Volume_1/
ftp> mkdir /Volume_1/testdir
ftp> bye
Please show the session listing of all these commands. I suspect it is
the FTP server which runs into problems. Maybe because of this from your
test:

> 257 "/Volume_1" is current directory.

Looks like "/Volume_1" is a link or so, because "testdir" has been
created on another physical location.

Ah. Samba on FAT32 likely. This could explain why the smb based copy
results in shortened file names.
Off topic: looks like it is possible to run native Linux on a D-Link
DNS-323. I did something similar with my Linksys NSLU2, and I'm happy
with it.
