Joomla on eircom server

    Hi all, I'm currently learning my way in Joomla and creating a site for a friend of mine's business. He has registered a domain and got some web hosting space with eircom. I'm having some issues installing Joomla on the eircom server, though and was wondering if anyone has done this before.

    What I think is the problem is that eircom doesn't allow you to connect via FTP in passive mode from behind a firewall. Joomla needs to be uploaded via a passive connection, though (I'm pretty sure I read this somewhere in the documentation, open to correction, though). I don't particularly want to take my firewall down completely (using Comodo) but am unsure what if anything I can change in Comodo that will keep the eircom server happy. Any advice appreciated.

    By the way, I thought a passive FTP connection was more secure from a server point of view, seems a strange way for eircom to have things set up?

    Not allowed to talk hosting here but you would be better with an professional Irish host, where you shouldent get any issues with Joomla
