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.
