You usualy load ip_masq_ftp as part of your firewall setup. If you are
running a stock Red Hat kernel, it is part of the package. Look for it in
the ipv4 sub-directory off the modules directory for your kernel.
You can load it up manualy when you want to do FTP, load it as part of
what ever script you use to set up your firewall, or load it in
/etc.rc.d/rc.local. Just use the command "/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp".
If you are compiling your own kernel, you need to have IP masquerading
turned on for the modules to be compiled.
