Just a comment :-)
Concerning the client-side there are several FTP-Clients that let
the user specify a portnumber, for example WS-FTP
(16bit & 32bit Client...) see the 'advanced' options.
Otherwise it wouldn't be possible to use a Firewall-Proxy.
Netscape Navigator allows other than standard port as well...
