You do have 2 Connections. The only difference in Passive FTP is, that the Client is telling the Server that he is opening the DATA connection itself. Instead of giving a PORT Statement where the client expects the DATA Connection _from_ the Server its requesting the Server VIA PASV Command to tell a PORT, and then the Client connects _to_ this Server Port. The Advantage of this is, that the Connection can be handeled like any other Connection from the inside to the outside. If you want a protocol which uses only one Connection, then (chunked) HTTP1.1 is the much better solution.
