It's needed if the client uses a gateway/router, since no server-to-client connection can be established.
The client has to use PASV, which allows it to initiate all connections itself, while the server only wait for connections and instructions to send data.
Thanx for the info, I'll be trying out port 444 as soon as possible - I need to let some people in on the change first.

But regarding the above:
Somewhere I must have misunderstood something, since as far as I know and can see, its when using PASV for the connection, it is the server that is providing both the port and ip the communication is using...
When using non-passive my computer uses its own settings for the PORT and IP. (As setup in FlashFXP's prefrences/proxy-firewall tab under port range and bind sockets).

Please clarify if I have misunderstood something...
