Actually, I'd be interested in even hearing ways to solve this problem 
that DO involve modifying the source code... I dug into the FTPServer.py 
code a while back to try to tackle this very problem and didn't see 
where the ports were being specified.  Unfortunately, other matters 
became a bit more pressing.  I'd be willing to hack up a way to set the 
passive ftp ports if someone would orient me a bit...
