   If your users are going to use "passive" FTP, then 2 connections need to made   
   to your system: the control connection (by default on port 21) and the data   
   connection (by default on whatever the control port number is, minus one, so   
   20 by default).   
      
   This is standard for operating any FTP server on the Internet and nothing   
   specialf or Synchronet.

   It's up to you, but QWK packet transfers should not be using more than one   
   concurrent connection.
