On an ftp server which you want clients to be able to access via passive 
FTP be
sure to insmod ip_conntrack_ftp module, which can be accomplished by 
adding the
following two lines to /etc/modules.conf
 
# iptables module added for passive ftp access to ftpd on local system
above ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_ftp
