Port 20 is standard -- in the opposite direction (server -> client). Since most clients using PASV are behind some kind of NAT themselves, the server's connection to port 20 on the client is usually ignored. What you need to do is have some kind of proxy on the server that will accept incoming requests on port 21, and recognize that requests coming from the same IP address to another port go to the server. That would permit PASV clients to work. Clients who use active mode will continue to work correctly. -- Glenn L.
