This issue happens in passive mode. When FTP client sends PASV command it
gets a response which contains private IP address...

... so I guess only replacing IP address given by server in response to PASV
with the public one (the one used to connect to the FTP server) should do
the trick (at least in this case). This does not need to be automatic or
fancy, I guess something like a property OverridePASVIP would be OK - it
would force ICS to use server IP plus port given in PASV response.
