Negotiation is on 20 and for regualar ftp data is passed over port 21.
When I've done a snoop with passive ftp (using ftp in netscape) the data
port is opened up above 1024 with a different port each time. So if I was
really anal and blocked EVERY port and only wanted ftp through my firewall
ftp with netscape wouldn't work.
