Sorry, from your original post it was not clear to me if your problem 
was ftp-client behind nat or ftp-server behind nat. The solution I gave 
solve the ftp-client behind nat problem, both active and passive ftp.

The IPF howto also notes that setting up an ftp server behind a NAT is a 
mess and one should _not_ try to reverse the setup for ftp-client behind 
nat. I don't have the solution for server behind nat.

I don't know what is standard or if there is one, but IANA has assigned 
ports > 49151 for dynamic port allocation, which seems to suggest that 
the ports chosen should be in that interval.

Cheers, Erik
