The protocol-dependent masquerading code, supporting ftp and irc, respectively, is now compiled as two separate modules. You have to load the ftp module to use the ftp-specific code. I didn't try it (yet), but that's what I read in the accompanying documentation (being the Makefile and the C sources :-)).
