Secure FTP on ReadyNAS Pro using FileZilla

The Netgear ReadyNAS Pro is set up to run FTP/S using ProFTP 1.3.3 Server and I'm using the latest FileZilla FTP client.  On the LAN, I can connect securely using FTPES (FTP over explicit TSL/SSL) using Port 21.

I opened a port on the SonicWALL to direct incoming WAN Port 21 traffic to the ReadyNAS.  On a laptop that's outside our SonicWALL, I can establish a secure FTPES connection but it can't list the files in the share.  Here's a dump of the FileZilla log:

Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions, digitap.  Unfortunately, we don't have the Enhanced OS so I can't use the suggested steps.  We already have plans on replacing the SonicWALL with a FortiWiFi router in the next month or so.

I did read more on active vs. passive FTP and even tried to set a short (43085-43090), custom passive port range on the ReadyNAS and open those ports on the SonicWALL, but now it won't connect at all -- even when I tried to change the settings back. : \
Nevermind!  The darn ReadyNAS's FTP server wasn't running.  It's working now!  Thanks for your guidance!!
hehe...small details :)  thanks for the points!
