I'm mostly sure that if you mark the *connection* to the FTP server, the 
related data will follow its path.

Again, multipath routing is complex, and Shorewall will do it properly. 
  At the very least, I recommend building a working configuration with 
Shorewall and then reading the rules that it compiles to understand why 
it handles routing the way that it does.
