        And what ftp client are you using and what command are you using?  Are we suppose to just guess to what your doing?

            well since there is no helper and dos only allows active connections - that is not going to work because you can never get the data connection open because there is no port open on the firewall that the helper use to do for you.  You can manually open the ports, or use a client that supports passive.  filezilla supports command line.

            Or you could use the new helper/proxy package.
