Does AT/TLS at all relieve this burden? After all, the first "T" stands for "Transparent" and, as Walt said yesterday, unless there's additional requirement for authentication applications needn't be aware that TLS is operating.
"T" does stand for Transparent, but the "A" stands for Application. The question is not whether TLS can be transparent to the Application, because the FTP client (the application in this case) does indeed support FTP with TLS. Therefore, no need for transparency.
AT-TLS I think is irrelevant to the original poster's question about firewalls.
