I had this problem with a 2.4 kernel and iptables. Normal FTP uses a separate connection for data, although if you use passive mode, it will work over the main connection. If I use a 2.2 kernel with ipchains, the ip_masq_ftp module, which takes care of the data connection, will be installed and there are no problems. I find the documentation on setting up iptables to be somewhat confusing, but I figure I just haven't spent enough time on it yet. I have a different problem now however. I configured port forwarding, but if a client outside my lan tries to ftp from my server, it only works if passive mode is NOT used.
