Please don't use FTP!

FTP is a horrible protocol. As firewall admin you've got the problem
that FTP decides dynamically what port it uses for data transfer. So you
have to open quite a few ports.

Dunno if that's the problem of the NAT part, but I can't reliably use
FTP from my normal computer as packets get filterd at my
router/firewall. This is already quite bad (e.g. for the SuSE auto
update) so we should do it better. And we should help to get rid of FTP.

CU,
Christian

PS: FTP also transferes passwords in plaintext to make things even
worse...
