From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: 1  FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection)  FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port)

FTP uses two channels between client and server, the command channel and the data channel, which are actually separate TCP connections. The command channel is for commands and responses, the data channel is for actually transferring files.
