There is indeed and I finally found an article that speaks about it.  The 
solution was for me to manually enter the "passive" command before 
transferring.  This is odd seeing as it "says" it's entering some form of 
passive mode, but it's really not.  What's even more odd is that for me to 
make Konqueror work with this server, I had to go to KControl and turn PASV 
ftp mode OFF!  Go figure.  Anyway, it seems to work now.

Cheers!

Aaron,

You could do it like:

Proftpd.conf:
PassivePorts 10000 10100

And open ports 10000-10100 on the firewall config..

This way both passive and active client could connect..
