First of all restrict the data transfer in a defined range of ports, on the ftp server:

Edit the file proftpd.conf and add or modify the following line: 

PassivePorts 49152 65534	# 49152-65534, the IANA-registered ephemeral port range


Now the iptables configuration file should be edited to allow connection on the above port range. Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables: 

[root@bpd etc]# cat sysconfig/iptables
# Firewall configuration written by system-config-securitylevel
# Manual customization of this file is not recommended.
