When this happens, it's usually a firewall configuration problem.

Besides a control connection, FTP also uses a data connection on a different port that needs to be assigned before data trasfers.

This means that you must open ports on your firewall to allow data transfers and, of course, you should make FileZilla Server aware of that.

For passive mode transfers, you should set a range of ports from the window below:

Of course those ports should be open at the firewall too. A longer discussion can be find here.
