Try doing the download using a FTP URL through the browser. Out side of that, I don't know what to suggest. Passive FTP would work better then Active (because the client initiates the data channel port), but if your saying that only 80,81, and 443 are open for inbound/outbound, then passive FTP won't work either.
Note the built-in Windows FTP client doesn't support passive mode. You can test by using FTP through the browser (which uses a passive mode connection) or with something like MoveItFreely, a command line replacement for the standard Windows client.

However, we have some clients who are working on workstations that are locked down tight. They have ports 80, 81 and 443 open so they can access the internet and download some files by http. They are limited to the size of an attachment for sending files to us. It would take an "act of congress" to open a port and it is not going to happen. They use 81 for ftp somehow. Has anyone accomplished a workaround? packet relay? I know there is a way to do it. I have googled and cannot seem to find a way to do it although there are a lot of hits with 'ftp behind firewall'.
