Aloha Matthias,

I am having the same ftp problem on  servers that are on  an ATM 5 IP 
circuit.  There is no NAT involved with one of these. The outbound FTP 
goes out but I cant get the files to list when I go  inbound  from 
outside on an recognized IP.
SSH on the same box works fine.
It would make my day to get this working.
