All they'd need to do is allow outbound traffic to the remote IP address on the non-standard port, and make sure the NAT/PAT is pointing the return traffic back to your PC.

I have a staging server configured with its own firewall, and I had to open its ports too. I going to do this secure ftp thing on a different pc (to which the port is forwarded), which I believe is not currently blocking any ports, but just thought I'd ask here in case I might have overlooked something.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 29 Nov 2012 09:46 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40103.9&return_msg=40103.4" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40103.9"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40103_10"></a><div class="message" id="message_40103_10"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">29 Nov 2012 09:51</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 29 Nov 2012 19:19"></span></span> <span class="message_count">10 of 26</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40103.10">40103.10</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40103.4#a40103_9" target="_self">40103.9</a></div> <div class="message_body"> They have to open port for outbound traffic?!<br /><br /> Usually port forwarding is for inbound traffic.
