How about a firewall?  FTP actually works on two ports: 20 and 21.  Port 20
is used only as a command channel and 21 is used for the actual data stream.
Most firewalls are intelligent enough to allow traffic through both ports
using the FTP protocol even if only one port is specified.

What you describe sounds like a firewall is allowing command traffic to pass
through unobstructed via port 20 but won't allow data traffic back out
through the other.  If there is a firewall, try and set it up to allow
traffic using FTP protocol over both port 20 and your specified port.

Chazzozz!!
