Firewall Question

Is there a firewall that has an option to open a port so I can allow file transfers? I've only used zonealarm and that's pretty much just set it and forget it.TIA 4 tha help.
 
Zonealarm (my memory of prev versions) works at a VERY low granularity.

For each app, allow client (outgoing) and allow server (incoming) - if your FTP client is not in PASV mode, it may need allow server.

Outpost (free/pro) and Kerio are both "rules based", so that port ranges are included in the rule set.
Sygate (free) is partially rules based - a limited number of them, but unlimited application permissions - so you can save the advanced rules for when you need them.
