Yes, you are right...
Except if you can configure a range of ports that the server will use, so
you can open then at the firewall... I think some servers do that.

Anyway, it's a difficult job to configure ftp data channels to be encrypted
with ssl (my focus)... I'll search for the existing solutions.

Thanks for all, anyway! :)
