PORT mode might not work with 56k, but you can try it anyway. I think, by default, there is PASV button on the toolbar. Deselect this when connecting to a server you don't want to use passive mode. If you don't want to use passive mode for any servers: Tools > Settings > Connection > Switch to Active mode FTP. Some of your favorites may also be set to use passive mode. To change this: Favorites > Edit Favorites > Right-click favorite item > Properties > "Advanced" tab > Uncheck "Use Passive Mode".
