FTP active/passive setting changes whether FTP tries to open up a
second connection back to your computer to put/get the actual file
contents, leaving the original connection for you to send more
commands etc.

If your firewall doesn't allow that second connection to happen, then
you may encounter this phenomenon.

Try switching active/passive around and see what you get.
