If ftp runs the control data over ssl, there is no way the connection
tracker can inspect the protocol and help in any way.  So ftp over ssl
clearly can't work the same as ftp as far as opening ports in a firewall
is concerned using connnection tracking.

For ftps you would have to use a fixed set of always forwarded ports
for the data channel instead of connection tracking.
