Here’s my experience on actively contributing in the resolution of a problem related to Active FTP & gnu-linux/ip-tables based firewall solution.

First, make sure your firewall has loaded the following modules:

ip_conntrack_ftp

ip_nat_ftp

Then check that the right Forwarding rules apply:

iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

being “RELATED” the important part.

Hope it saves the day to someone…mines already got lost :(
