Data Channel Mode
The  sets the default behavior for opening data port connections between the FTP client and FTP server.
Active mode
 causes the client to listen for an inbound connection from the server during data transfers.  The Low Port / High Port, if left at 0/0, will be a random number between 1024-65535; otherwise specify a specific range.  Because this is active mode, this port range must be open inbound on your firewall.
Passive mode
 causes the server to listen for an outbound connection from the client during data transfers.  The server indicates the IP address and port number.  The FTP server will cycle through port numbers, usually a subset of 1024-65535.  Substitute Passive IP Address indicates that VersaLex should ignore the IP address specified by the server and reuse the command port address instead.  (This may be necessary if the server is advertising an internal rather than an external IP address.)
