Doubt on FTP

iis ftp:

Hi,

Our Application pushes files using FTP to other systems. Also, other
systems “pull” files from our box using FTP.

Now, we have a situation wherein, our production box will have only port
22 open.

I have the below doubts

1. If port 22 is only open on a client (in our case, our production
box), and port 21 is open on server (other systems), can the client PUSH
files using FTP ?
2. If port 22 is open on server and client has port 21, 22 open,
can client PULL files from server using FTP ?

Please clarify my doubts.

Thanks in Advance,

I'm not following.. by default ftp uses 21/20 port. data port is control
port -1.
hence 21 -1 = 20. Depending on the mode, client will need different ports.
