You need to insert (possibly even build) the ip_masq_ftp module if I
recall correctly(1). From there, you will need to allow connections to
your firewall on ports 1025-4999(2) from the ftp-data port, 20.
1) Its been awhile since I've setup a linux firewall, please take all
advice with a tablespoon of salt.
2) This are the 'standard' ports, but thats the great thing about
standards. So many to choose from.
