wscale 2 here (instead of 5 on your non working case)
So win = 23360

Typical window scaling problem here... (well, for previous traces, with
wscaling of 5, since with wscale 2 it seems to work), you probably have a
buggy router or something...
http://lwn.net/Articles/92727/
Try :
# echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
And retry to connect to this ftp server
You could alternativly play with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
# echo "4096 8192 50000" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
