Those don't have a direct connection to ftp, no. What that port
range controls are the ephemeral ports, those opened by the system when
you connect out to a service on another system.
What are you trying to do with ftp? I am guessing that if you're
having ftp + firewall problems, passive mode will do what you want.
Good luck,
Doug
