directory listing. I've tried both passive and active modes with

VSFTP in active mode calls from a high (>1024) port rather
than port 20. This is to allow it to run without root
privileges. watch it with netcat
Sounds like passive FTP not getting through the firewall. Try doing a
'modprobe
ip_conntrack_ftp' on the server, or seeing if you can force your client to
use
active mode only.
iptables "RELATED" knows about the calling port
