Using Internet Explorer with Filezilla FTP Server

I recently explained to a customer that he could use IE or Firefox to upload/download files from our ftp server, and in the true tradition of such things I found out that this doesn't work because of my setup, a simple fix is either to open a million ports for Active FTP or get the users to force IE to be Passive. Editing the following registry key should do the trick.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Ftp]
"Use PASV"="yes"
