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 checking that Win7's own firewall doesnt block outgoing requests from *unknown* apps though. But yes you *will* most certainly need to explicitly perforate the firewall at the Server end, for all ports, and port ranges the FTP server will ever use. Regards.
