You never can tell about these things.  One person might be using
regular (active?) connections and another passive.  I couldn't
say with authority that the firewall would treat each
identically.

It sounds like you are connecting to port 21(ftp) correctly.  But
ftp uses a second connection for data transfer and the way that
is set up differs for passive ftp connections.  It's possible
that your second connection is getting blocked.
