comp.dcom.sys.cisco is a better place for PIX advice.

There are a number of possible causes for what you describe.
We need to know the PIX software version, the static rule,
the access-list contents, the access-group statement, any
applicable protocol inspection statements, and whether you are
using passive or active ftp. Also, it would help if you were
to push your logging level up to 6 and to present the relevant
log messages.

You may wish to investigate the Cisco PIX 501 Firewall Config Template:

Cisco routers use TFTP protocoll instead of FTP. Try install in your
network TFTP server & connect to it.

The Cisco PIX is not a router: it is a firewall. The OP is trying
to configure FTP through the firewall (from outside) to something inside.

By the way, PIX 7.0 and later can configure via FTP.

I suggest you capture the traffic to see whats happening, do the
following

# access-list test permit tcp any eq
21
# capture test access-list test interface outside
# capture test1 access-list test interface inside

make an ftp attempt to connect

# show capture test { to see if the request packets hits the firewall
external interface }
# show capture test1 { to see if the packet leaves the firewall inside
interface to the ftp server }

you may then check for return traffic to confirm a complete tcp
handshake occurs or not.
