I think you misunderstand the purpose of this option. The limit local port range is so you can use PORT mode rather than PASV even when you are behind a firewall/router. FlashFXP does then use those ports only for receiving data...however, it will respond to requests on any port between 1024 and 65536. Usually, you need at least 10 ports open for each instance of flashfxp you run at once.....I don't think its possible to make flashfxp exclusively use a range of ports for all communication.
