Netfilter has a module called ip_conntrack_ftp which is used to take new
socket opening into account for the ftp protocol. To use that feature
you need t load the module and use a rule which accept packet RELATED to
another connection :
iptables -I FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
