I don't know about dpkg-ftp, but 'dftp' can run through a firewall.  The
only firewall I ever tested it with was the "Eagle Secure Gateway", but
I suspect most function similarly.  Note, however, that I haven't run
than piece of the code for many months and may not be as stable as the
rest of 'dftp'.
