This is probably because you are only enabling one of the two ports needed
by FTP. You need to enable ports 20 AND 21 for ftp to work.

Don't know why it stopped working.. maybe the previous version was doing
both ports when you indicated FTP. try manually setting/NATing both ports.
I usually only NAT single ports, but maybe for FTP you need to NAT both
ports. I know for sure FTP needs both ports.

That sounds exactly like what I am describing. The data port is 20. The
command port is 21. If you have a FreeBSD, Linux or Unix like os check
/etc/services.
