New description:

 I've encountered a situation where a site is apparently running a
 Microsoft FTP server and the only way to get in is to (a) use the -A
 option ***and*** (b) completely disable my firewall.  The reason is the
 FTP server uses some high-numbered port in a random fashion, purportedly
 in the name of "security".  (Microsoft's idea of security is to hide
 something somewhere thinking that it won't be found).

 Is there anything you can do to enhance Cyberduck to avoid disabling the
 firewall?!

 Thanks.

 Here's the output I'm getting from that server  (I have obfuscated private
 info about the server
 and other things below because it's private stuff):
