Could be a few things.
1. How are you accessing the FTP server?
If you are accessing it by name and don't have an internal
DNS server, then most likely the IP address on the External
side of your firewall is being returned. If this is the case
then a "double NAT" case exist (which is supported) and possibly
your Remote Access filters are blocking the connection.
Try this test: access the FTP server by its actual unregistered IP address
(assuming the FTP server is on a PSN).
2. Check your Remote Access filter for FTP. Set the interface
parameter to ANY.
3. Your FTP server might be attempting to validate your IP address with a
reverse DNS lookup.
Do this:
Either watch the logs or the console (Alt F1), then attempt to access
the FTP server. Did you see a block on your attempted connection?
Check your FTP server's logs, (depending upon you log level,etc) you
might find some clues there.
