Use Active FTP for signature updates

Is it possible to use active ftp opposed to passive when upgrading IDS signatures? I am running 4210s with v.4.1. During signature updates for some reason the FTP connection uses a random ephemeral port instead of port 21. When I ftp manaually from the service account with the PASS command to turn off passive ftp, the file transfers fine. ACLs are blocking the connection because the port always changes and I don't want to open up the ephemeral port range.

Thanks,

Joel

As far as I know, you can only use the passive ftp for the sig updates.
