IMHO passive FTP is simpler. ...because you have control over which ports are used and don't have to worry about whether you've opened a range of ports in your firewall. It gets worse if routers in between have to route packets because then you have to open more ports all the way through. Much easier just to deal with two ports, get that working, and then try passive mode if you have to. Also... I used to have a router that would die if someone from the outside attempted a passive-mode ftp connection. It was configured properly, it just couldn't do it. I checked the network traffic and there was a response from my ftp server, but then the router had to be physically rebooted before it would work again.
