I am in the process of setting up my home FTP with virtual users on a CentOS 6.0. I am using the following guide.
I was able to run the first script vsftpd_virtual_config_withTLS.sh successfully and configured it accordingly.
I then run the add user script vsftpd_virtualuser_add.sh successfully and configure a virtual user.
I then run the following commands to allow Iptables to allow connections over port 21
sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
sudo /sbin/service iptables save
sudo /sbin/service iptables restart
I then restart the vsftpd server. I then try to connect to my newly configured ftp server (Encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS) with Filezilla 3.5.0 (which uses GnuTLS: 2.10.5) and I get the following error when connecting.
Error: GnuTLS error -53: Error in the push function.
I have tried other ftp clients such as Fireftp and it still fails to list the directory listing. I have also ensured that vsftpd, gnutls, and filezilla are all the latest version. I am however very unfamiliar with TLS so any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: After having trying quanta suggestion I am getting at least a failed directory listing in Filezilla. Below is my output from Filezilla.

Edit: When run the query that quanta suggested below I get the following
grep: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64-x86_64/.config: No such file or directory
So ip_conntrack_ftp seems not to be loading correctly and I am not sure how to rectify this.

Do you want to run vsftpd in active mode? If so, add the following iptables rule and try again:
For the passive mode, try this:
