Your problem is not with FTP, it's with how you have your firewall Nat configured to handle FTP. IPFW has punch rule and IPFILTER has ftp built in proxy rule. In both cases, when they see FTP session start they automatically create temp rules to allow both passive and active ftp through your firewall. You only need an single firewall rule to allow port 21
