Passive versus active mode: in one the control connection is the 
connection that you make, data transfers {ls  included} occur down a 
data channel opened by the server back to the client ?

Firewall active but no connection tracking for ftp ?

If that isn't enough, what are you talking from / to on what OS, what 
firewall, are you trying anon connection but not configured selinux to 
match on the server ?
