If your firewall allows Passive FTP then you just turn that on in the
Options screen.

Or, download the install files to another machine and offer the files via
anonymous ftp. 

If you're doing an upgrade, you can slurp the install files right off the
local filesystem.  Specify the media as 'ufs' and it'll ask for the
directory to start searching in.
