Yes, it uses PASV or EPSV. However, I checked the RFC, and none of these
include the source address of the client (I was certain they did, but I was
wrong). Servers probably restrict the connection based on the source
adress of the control command, then, and this will work just fine with NAT.

Sorry for the noise.
