[Xitami] Talking about FTP

Stefan,

I took a look at this product. Close. The data is encrypted before being sent.
(Clients that I have written are sending the data back to the server)
So I don't need the transmission itself encrypted. The data already is.

What I was looking for is to limit the number of ports that Xitami talks on
when FTP so that I can assign these ports to Xitami.exe in the firewall.

Someone said to use passive mode on the client. Does this limit the
number of ports Xitami uses ( or the client uses) so that I can secure 
these ports in the firewall ?

Thanks for the responses.
