your firewall probably blocked the "passive ftp ports"?
Howdy,
You may also want to check out the "FTP Service Isn't Working" question here, which discusses a kernel module you may be able to use to resolve that:

thats strange!
after running command "modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp" it works perfect
does it have to added to autorun somewhere though? what will happen after server reboot?
Oh nuts, you're right, the documentation completely fails to mention how to make that work after a reboot :-)
I'll have to fix that!
You do need to automate running that command on reboot... the typical way of doing that with a kernel module on CentOS is to add the module name to /etc/rc.modules, as described here:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-kernel-modul...
On Debian/Ubuntu, you can just add it to /etc/modules.

I am on Centos 6.2 and there is no "/etc/rc.modules" ?
I am on Centos 6.2 and there is no "/etc/rc.modules"?
Yup! That's normal, you can follow the instructiosn in the CentOS link above in order to create that file.

occasionally (once in 5 days or so) I have to do it again ("modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp")
server hasn't been rebooted or any service restarted
does this mod get unloaded somehow?
It shouldn't! I've never heard of a module being unloaded... if you look at the "dmesg" output, do you see anything in that which suggests the module may be crashing?

dmesg gives me loads of in/out kernel iptables firewall messages
nothing about ftpd
