Help!!!! I am getting a 501 Syntax Error with CFFTP ListDir. I created the file in January of 2014 and today is the first time it has failed.

Try removing the quotes from around the connection name in your CFFTP lisdir block.  So change the last line to connection=MyFtp instead of connection="MyFtp".
