Sounds like a firewall-problem to me, I had the same when setting up iptables for the first time, the sollution for me was to open for outgoing connections on ports above 1024 and incoming RELATED/ESTABLISHED on the same ports. The problem is that the ftp-server doesn't communicate on the designated ftp port, it just sets up the session there and then tells your client what port to connect to. Don't know if this solves it for you, but that was the sollution when I had the exact same problem. Good luck.
