I quote from here: http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2005-Oct/0033.html

-----------------
Konqueror uses passive by default, That will work in 99,9% of all cases.

There is still no graphical method to change this, but use this in
~/.kde/share/config/kio_ftprc to change to active mode:

[<default>]
DisablePassiveMode=true

If the file does not exist, create it and fill it with above content.
-----------------

If I understand nuclear-cowboy correctly, you want it to be passive mode,
which it should already be doing.  Hmm...  But, double check the setting
described above.
