@Mike
64,170,98,33,151,31 are all octets(meaning group of eight). Eight bits have a maximum value of 255 and a minimum of 0. So if you multiply the octet 151 by 256 and add it to 31 you get the port.

Very informative article thanks a bunch for this. Do you know the reason we need to multiple the 2nd last number and add the last for PASV mode?

Thanks for this post, reminding me of the times we had ONLY text based ftp clients (just a bit more comfortable than telnet). That was about 300 years ago …
