Yes... I guess that the OP _did_ say each file.  Unless a new FTP
connection were being opened each time, that sort of shoots down
the reverse DNS theory.

The thing about using passive instead of active is that is more
of a "works-or-doesn't" matter.  Passive means that the server
tells the client which port to use for data (sort of like RPC),
as opposed to opening a connection back to the client.  i.e.,
passive is firewall-friendly.
