For a server yes, but it's not "trouble" if you know the ports it's configured to use, and make appropriate holes in the Server's firewall. The client end, even for secure FTP still does not need any firewall/router meddlings when "Passive" mode is used, as again it only makes outgoing connections

Passive mode *Should not* need any firewall hole poking, at the Client end. That's the beauty of Passive mode! The client only ever makes outgoing connections, it never has to receive an incoming one. Any half decent firewall or NAT router, will handle all that transparently. It's worth checkin
