Nothing special.  Inbound access from the Internet to the server on TCP 21 in 
addition to the full range of ports specified by the pasv_min_port and 
pasv_max_port in the vsftpd.conf.  The host is also running a host-based 
firewall (pf).  Here's the pf.conf line that applies:
pass in quick on $ext_if proto tcp from any to <internal-server-IP> port { 21, 
<pasv_min_port>:<pasv_max_port> } keep state
