Programmable PASV mode

It might be nice to add a programmable PASV mode. It's very useful for users like me behind a SNAT (iptables) gateway.
PASV mode would be activated only when using other ports than the default port 21.

You can already set the PASV on or off from site to site in the site-manager. Your way would default the behaviour solely based on the port(s) used, and that's simply not the case.

Further to the above post, in the Proxy/Firewall options section of the program, you can enter your external IP in the box marked "Bind local ports to this address", it's been very useful for me, as my ISP is on a similar(ly stupid) setup to yours, and anyone running a server that doesn't support passive mode and isn't on port 21 caused me problems in the past. Hope this helps.
