The whole idea of passive ftp is that it is the client initiating both
control and data connections, so ftp or ftpssl there should be no need
for additional nat fw rules.

If the server is behind the NAT then you need to set a rdr rule for the
high port numbers and the ftp server must masquerade as the nat's ip
address.

rdr on $ext_if from any to $ftp port {60000:65535} -> $local_ftp 

for example.
