Joseph, I ran into this problem a while back, as first I thought m0n0wall was messing with the ftp server. I later found out that if you try to ftp through m0n0wall from behind another firewall, that's what the problem is. Some switch/NAT/firewalls don't assign the dynamic trigger ports properly which will cause the "LS" command and many others to fail. So since it can't list files, the ftp client will report an error or no connection. It doesn't matter if you use passive or active mode ftp, I found this issue with certain type of D-Link switches. If you remove the D-link from the loop, all of a sudden everything works like it should. E-mail me and I can help test this for you, I have a few spare WAN IP that I can hook directly to a PC to test ftp connections with a simple guest account you could create for troubleshooting.

When I use ftp client from external lan to connect to my dynamic IP, it can't find the ftp server. by the way, I am using monowall's dyndns server.
