I'm asking this because I tried to load the module already (forgot to mention that in my message). It loaded, but I still couldn't connect to my server after that. I tried it with the ipmasq-rule being applied, and also after having deleted the same rule.

ip_masq_ftp is as far as i know only for outgoing FTP Requests. If you want
to have incominf FTP Server Remapping you need to use a FTP Proxy Program or
you have to reconfigure your Server to talk to the outside with its official
Address. There is a mini howto and a patch for that available for proftpd.

The Reson for this is the sick FTP Protocol. You can inform yourself about
it on http://www.freefire.org/articles/ftpexample.php

and the proftpd patch is at:
