To check for sure, you can use the `lsmod' command to list all the modules that
are loaded.

Are you sure it's an ip_masq_ftp problem? Passive mode should work from behind
IP masq even if ip_masq_ftp isn't even loaded. In fact, you can unload the
module to try it with the command `rmmod ip_masq_ftp'.

Can you ftp things properly between you and the same server directly from your
Linux box?

Is the FTP server running on a nonstandard port?
