By default BackupEDGE will attempt to make FTP connections using EPSV (Extended Passive Mode) and get a return port from the FTP Server.
Here's what the internal connection log looks like. The FTP server controls the port assignment., and may want to use a port BackupEDGE can't see because of a firewall.
* Connected to ds508.microlite.com (192.150.112.74) port 21 (#0)
* < 220 DS508 FTP server ready.
* > USER backupedge
* < 331 Password required for backupedge.
* > PASS -
* < 230 User backupedge logged in.
* > PWD
* < 257 "/" is current directory.
* * Entry path is '/'
* > CWD /backupedge/mlite/Accounting
* < 250 CWD command successful.
* > EPSV
* * Connect data stream passively
* < 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||55584|)

Adding ",p" to the end of the server name or IP address causes
BackupEDGE to attempt PORT or EPRT modes and send the server the ports it wants to use. BackupEDGE (i.e. the client) controls the ports.
Here are two examples of connection logs with ",p" in use.
