Probably not for this list, but..
The default for most servers is passive mode, don't know about this.
Then you have to open a port range like 5000-5200 and specify it in the
configuration file for the ftp server.
Not passive mode is active mode. Which you specify with the command
'ACTIVE' when you are logged in to the server.
