      Is the FTP proxy turned on, on the LAN interface? Make sure the box that reads disable ftp userland proxy is not checked. If I read what your saying correctly you can't access external FTP sites from behind the pfsense box.

        the FTP proxy is enabled on the LAN interface and WAN interface. I can ftp into these sites without a hitch, however to get a directory listing or to be able to download a file i must switch ftp into active mode, in passive mode it will just time out.

          What version of pfsense. Also instead of fetch try just ftp sitename and then go through the commands manually to grab the file. When in passive mode you will see output like

          227 Entering Passive Mode (68,100,53,135,235,158)
          150 Here comes the directory listing.
          public_html
          226 Directory send OK.

          The numbers in parenthesis are the ip address and I assume port numbers. When I originally had problems with ftp acess from outside to a server behind pfsense this was showing my private ip. When I switched to RC3 I had no more problems.

                      Turn off the ftp helper at interfaces -> LAN.
