The interface doesn't make this clear, but this isn't the way to do
it. When you enable ftp access in the wizard it enables the service on
the firewall, overriding the forwarding decision. So the ftp
connection is accepted by the firewall machine, but there's no ftp
daemon running so you instantly get "connection refused".

So disable ftp in the wizard. Make sure there's no other rules for the
ports 20 and 21 except the forwarding ones.
