Yes, it can. But passive mode is the default in lftp starting with 2.2.0
version. It is controlled by:
set ftp:passive-mode on
And the port number for passive mode is assigned by server, lftp does not
have control over that.
Maybe they actually want active mode. Then lftp has control over the port
number on local side:
set ftp:passive-mode off
set ftp:port-range 25002-25002
