You need to implement the PASV and EPSV commands. Basically you need to
open a listening socket on your server (on whatever port you like) and
send the client a response indicating your ip and port (for PASV) or
just the port number (for EPSV). The client should then connect to your
socket and issue a command (data transfer, LIST, NLST) and you
send/receive data.

Take a look at how existing clients and servers do it.
