Are there any security group restrictions on your instances running ProFTPD?  If so, do they allow incoming connections from this configured passive ports ranges?

In general, using an FTP-unaware load balancer for FTP sessions is problematic, because the load balancer is unaware of the nature of FTP data connections, and does not necessary know that a new TCP connection (intended for a data transfer) needs to route, in a "sticky session" fashion, back to the same FTP server.

Hope this helps,
