This is one reason why the connection is failing, you aren't using PASV mode 
and you're telling the remote system to connect back to you on IP address 
10.10.160.2, which isn't legal on the internet.

As that's failing I suspect you're either not using iptables or you are and 
haven't loaded the ip_conntrack_ftp module.

I'd certainly suggest looking at the Shorewall firewall configuration program 
- - if you're using Mandrake do (as root):

	urpmi shorewall

or if you're using Debian do (as root):

	apt-get install shorewall

then you'll need to edit the config files in /etc/shorewall.

Good luck!
Chris
