In AIM, you can set port for file transfer.

Open preferences, and go to file transfer. There is a box to set port number.

Log into your router, ususally 192.168.0.1 and enter the username and p/w. There should be some advanced settings in there where you can control ports.

check this dslr faq on the subject. good luck.

I'll risk of the spam accusation.

Users on BitWise Chat seem to have better luck with file transfers, even with routers, than the bug guys... worth a shot, anyway.
