[Zope] how to change ftp server data connection range?

[Andreas Jung]

I am not completely sure about the all details of the FTP protocol but
from looking at the sources of the FTP server of Zope it seems that
the *client*  open the data port and tells the ftp server about the port
number for the data connection and not the other way.
