What control do you have over the firewall? One of the cleaner
solutions would be to run an ftp proxy on the firewall, such as that

Unfortunately, the router/NAT firewall can be neither replaced nor
tweaked, since it's a modem/router provided by our ISP.
Actually, we don't necessarily need an FTP. Whatever solution to send
files is fine, provided I can add this feature in a VB Classic client
application.
Running an FTP behind a home DSL router is perfectly possible. You will
just have to open a range of ports on the router itself eg 25000-25050
and forward them to your ftp server internal IP address. Then set the
FTP server to only use these ports for passive transfers.
For example, I am using ftp/proftpd and have this directive in the
configuration file:
PassivePorts 25000-25050
You will, of course, need to forward port 21 as well.
