Choi -

Unless you use clients supporting passive FTP (modified FTP client
programs and some Web browsers) you will need to allow outside machines
to initiate TCP connections from port 20 (the ftp-data port).

You are allowing TCP connections on the FTP control port (port 21) for
commands and three digit response codes in your filtering rules below but
not allowing non-established ftp-data traffic (from server port 20) in.

You probably want the rule :

permit tcp 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 a.b.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 20

Note that you will have given up some degree of security for transparency.
