That is exactly how I thought it would work. However, I notice that with Sambar, it tends to want to send information out of a very high port, such as 4725.
I originally had in my firewall table that it would accept incoming connections through port 21, and outgoing (data) through port 20. However, I put the firewall in a "learning" state today, and notice it would say "Device from x.x.x.x on port 4725 wants to make a TCP connection to device x.x.x.x on port 62102. So, in this case, it seems as though the server is spawning another port to send the data. Each time that a request is sent via port 21 by the workstation, it will increment the port to send the data back.
