FTP server on Panther acting very weird

I'm trying to FTP to my G5 at work (it's running OSX10.3.9). I've got the
firewall configured to accept FTP (port 20,21). When I ftp to my machine, I
get the prompt and am able to log in properly. I can do a "pwd" command and
see the name of my home directory. But then if I do "ls", it says

229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||55055|)

and just sits there (like stuck). I looked it up on the net and someone said
to try doing "epsv4" and "passive". I did that, but then I get

200 PORT command successful.
... sits there for a long time...
421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed


Weirdly, when I log in to my G5 and use its FTP client to connect to itself,
everything works as expected.

what the heck is going on? Why is my FTP server acting so weird? By the way,
I'm connecting using the standard Mac terminal FTP client on a Mac laptop
running OSX10.3.9 also.

Thanks in advance for any help!
