well, 1st thing i would recommend to talk to sysadmin. they might be able to provide you with needed info.
if they are blocking all ports, it's prolly for a reason and you wouldn't want to lose your job just so you can d/l a picture.
find out if your company has internal proxy you can use, or find a public HTTP proxy that is running on port 80...

icq, aim, trillian all use ports other than 80, but can also be configured to use http proxy.

Since this has nothing to do with FlashFXP, I wonder if you can get a proper reply. Ask your system administrator. Otherwise, setup a port forwarder and/or bnc up at home on port 80.

What you need as a proxy, is an open proxy on port 80 that also allows you to use ftp protocol. GOod Luck
