Err, I've always personally found RFC's to be by far the most concise
documentations of protocols. What you want is passive mode, initiated
I believe by sending 'PASV'. Precisely how the communication happens,
I don't know. You could almost certainly dig the answer out of the RFC
in the time it'd take you to reply to this mail. :)
