You need ip_conntrack_ftp added to your IPTABLES_MODULES in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables-config.
Add that module name, restart iptables, double check your firewall rules
(allow TCP port 21), and try to FTP into your box.


You could have switched your FTP client to active FTP rather than passive
(generally the default).
The link to slacksite link below explains active and passive FTP.
