This is not a fault in panda. The Net::FTP module implements the FTP
protocol, which runs on TCP ports 20 and 21 --- but in active mode it will
attempt to connect back to your machine, and in passive mode it will make
an outgoing connection to a port specified by the server on the command
channel. FTP is not a good idea behind restrictive firewalls; you will not
be able to get it to work without a smart firewall that tracks the FTP
command channel to open a hole for the requested port. If you don't
absolutely need this module, consider just not installing it; if you do
need it for some specific purpose, you probably want to talk to the
admin(s) of the site you are working with and try to get permission to use
a more modern protocol like scp or the sftp module of ssh.
