After the user has configured the firewalls, have an option in the
server to test the connection. This would send an HTTP request to a
central web server for GoodbyeFTP asking it to check the connection on a
specific port. The GoodbyeFTP server will send a message to the user's
server. If the user's server gets it, it reports to the user that the
firewalls are configured properly. If not, it offers troubleshooting
advice.
