What control do you have over the firewall? One of the cleaner
solutions would be to run an ftp proxy on the firewall, such as that
supplied with pf. See ftp-proxy(8) or

Unfortunately, the router/NAT firewall can be neither replaced nor
tweaked, since it's a modem/router provided by our ISP.
Actually, we don't necessarily need an FTP. Whatever solution to send
files is fine, provided I can add this feature in a VB Classic client
application.
Hi,
May be you can consider using sshd + sftp on Server.
(Single Port for just about everything, see below)
PSCP or PSFTP (from same as PuTTY) allow send / receive file via
command line,
eg. you can issue "exec" from VB to send files.
"pscp [options] source [source...] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:target"
(PSFTP is prefer over PSCP, but PSCP is simple)
http://www.putty.nl/download.html
Also, bind sshd on high port will prevent too many port scan and
the connection is consider to be more secure than ftp.
IMHO, sftp is more easily managed than ftp in the long run (Both
Server and Client).
ps.
I also use ssh to forward 3389, the M$ Terminal Server (even XP has
one), no need for PC ANYWHERE.
If you need to solve problem remotely, you don't need to open another
port (PC ANYWHERE needs 2).

Running an FTP behind a home DSL router is perfectly possible. You
will just have to open a range of ports on the router itself eg
25000-25050 and forward them to your ftp server internal IP
address. Then set the FTP server to only use these ports for
passive transfers.
For example, I am using ftp/proftpd and have this directive in the
configuration file:
PassivePorts 25000-25050
You will, of course, need to forward port 21 as well.
