Ruby FTP passive error

I tried using FTP with passive mode:

require 'net/ftp'
ftp =  Net::FTP.new
ftp.passive = true
ftp.connect('mydomain.com')
ftp.login
filenames = ftp.nlst

But there is an error:

Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)

Although it works fine with active mode !

I am using ruby ​​1.9.3. When I set debuge mode:

ftp.debug_mode = true

I see:

 **ftp.connect('mydomain.com')**
connect: mydomain.com, 21
get: 220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [privsep] ----------
get: 220-You are user number 3 of 50 allowed.
get: 220-Local time is now 11:43. Server port: 21.

get: 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

put: TYPE I
get: 200 TYPE is now 8-bit binary
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)

I also found out that the function transfercmdfrom Net::FTPuses a host that is different from my domain IP address! Maybe this is a private IP address? What is wrong here?

I rewrote the method makepasvfrom Net::FTPand it works!

module Net
  class FTP
    def makepasv # :nodoc:
      if @sock.peeraddr[0] == "AF_INET"
        #host, port = parse227(sendcmd("PASV")) #WAS!
        host, port = parse229(sendcmd("EPSV"))
      else
        host, port = parse229(sendcmd("EPSV"))
      end
      return host, port
    end
  end
end
