Mac clients having trouble using FTP on SBS

We have a client with SBS2K who uses its FTP service to receive files
from clients (using authentication.) Some of these clients have Mac machines
and they sometimes have trouble hooking up. In virtually every case, having
the Mac user change their FTP client from active to passive (or vice versa)
solves the problem. However, there is at least one client for whom neither setting
works.

Would it be worthwhile to add a Mac machine to the network in order to
give these remote Mac users a native environment?
