Can you (or the administrator of the FC2 box) do a lsmod command? Is the ip_conntrack_ftp module loaded? If not, try modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp as root. SSH, I understand, just uses one connection between two ports. This is the simplest and standard way of doing TCP/IP connections. FTP relies on a control connection and a data connection. The kernel's own firewall needs the ip_conntrack_ftp module loaded to "know" that the two connections are related. If that doesn't work, I suspect something similar needs to be done on a router or firewall along the way. What is the "local" PC running, anyway?
